French Shellac help please?

[babycakesbeauty]

Morning all,

I'm quite new to Shellac - ive noticed from several posts that when you talk about a french shellac you mention that do you the smile line last?

So would you recommend that I paint the nail/cure, paint again & cure, then smile line - cure and smile line/cure again? So effectively 2 times each?

I think ive confused myself!

Thanks x

Many Thanks for your reply but I need to know about curing Shellac while doing a french polish? Do you have any advice on this pls? x

Curing is the same whether you are doing French or colour.

10 seconds for base coat and 2 minutes per coat thereafter. So if you do the white it cures for 2 minutes.

Hi I do base, cure, pink cure, white tip, cure, then either top coat or if clieint wants a 2nd pick then i do this, cure then top.

Great thanks for your reply, I was just confused to how many layers you can cure?

Thanks
