Hi,
I had my first attempt at french gel nails last night. I bought a trial kit to give it a go as I usually do L&P. I was brimming with enthusiasm and I managed clear nails with out too much difficulty, but the white tip gel caused me no end of problems.
Everytime I tried to shape the smile line, then pull the brush away, the gel stretched into pointy bits and most of it came away with the brush. Is it always that difficult or am I doing something drastically wrong!? Is there a certain technique of brush use I need to master? The white tip gel was alot thicker than the builder and basecoat gels, is it meant to be? I realise it is my first attempt and cannot expect to master it without a huge amount of practice. Any advice would be appreciated as I now feel disheartened:|
Thanks
Julie
