I know there's probably 100s of posts on this subject.....i don't have any problems with Gel over L&P, only on natural nails, is it my prep work? Its really getting me down. I work dry pushing back the cuticle, then use a curette to remove dead cells off the nail plate, buff slightly with a turtle file, i then use cleanser to remove any residue before i apply dehydrator. I go back to the first finger to apply base coat giving the dehydrator time to evaporate. I have been using IBD base and top, with CND Shellac colours and a CND LED lamp, but i use the same on L&P and have no issues. I will probably shoot myself in the foot here, but i bought the lamp off Ebay, not S2 or Ellisons, If you're all going to shoot me please make it quick lol.
