Did my first full set on a human as opposed to my practice hand!) and apparently they have all come away :-( luckily my friend and not a client.
I have built up a really good business so far and don't want to blow it so cd do with some advice.
After researching I bought nsi secrets soak off hard gel system as I wanted a system I did not have to file off and using pro impressions advanced well less tips as I don't have the patience for filing wells on tips.
My procedure was
Dry prep as normal and cuticle work.
Cleanse
Apply and fit tips with glue on rim of top against natural smile line.
Buff tips and nail to remove shine
Cut tip and file into shape.
Apply dehydrator to nail only
Scrub in bonder gel to nail only then cure
Add thin layer of builder gel and cure
Add another layer putting big bead in centre and walking down nail.
Turn hand over for 5 secs
Cure.
If happy with shape file with 180 grit file to refine shape.
Cleanse.
Client wanted colour so I added x 2 coats of gelish colour and then gelish Tio to finish.
If no colour required I would have applied nsi secrets top coat.
What am I doing wrong. I have a gelish led lamp and the gel is meant to be led curable but wondering if I should try my uv lamp?
Any help would be really appreciated
