Morning all! I wonder if anyone has any tips regarding doing french manicure with gel polish. I use Icon UV Polish and I am struggling to get the white tips right. I do all my usual prep and bond, base, first colour etc then when I get to the white it all goes a bit pear shaped. I either get too much on my brush so I get a 'lump' on the end of the nail, or not enough so the colour goes patchy. I usually sweep behind the white with a dry brush to perfect my smile line but more often than not, the white has run out of shape on the nail where the gel settles. Can I ask how you do yours? I'm quite new to the business, and my colours are fine but if someone asks for French it fills me with dread at the moment!
Also, is a 9w bulb a 9w bulb? i.e. I bought a lamp from my trainer as part of a kit with my Icon gel polish - it has no brand name - if I buy 4 standard 9w bulbs will they be okay?
I hope someone can help!
