Hi geeks,
I've been a nail tech for four years and love L&P, however even with my training I haven't ever got into gel.
I do gel extensions on my mam and she loves hers, tends to last her around four weeks with no problems (even though I do ask her to come in for infills.)
However some other people - including myself, I find they just come off. They seem to be "weaker" and I don't know why. I would love to get back into gel as I remember liking them at college but we don't agree anymore! I use "The Edge" hard gel.
I also need a new lamp as only half of the nail cures and I end up spending ages trying to get it to cure! But I had this problem before my lamp went dodgy so any help anyone? Here is my run through of application:
Dry Prep
Remove surface shine
Dehydrate
Size & Apply Tips
Cut tips to length required
File tips & smooth smile line
Remove excess dust
Apply primer
Apply Gel Builder Coat, cure for 90 seconds on each hand
Repeat
Apply Finishing Gel, cure for 90 seconds
File, smooth, apply cuticle oil and top coat
