Hey guys! I trained in gel polish a few weeks ago and I'm just really struggling with it - even just practising on myself I feel that they never have that beautiful look a gel polish usually gives & I have problems with them lifting after 1 week - they peel off in one piece !!
Here's my steps
1 file nails as shape
2 push back cuticle
2 wipe with acetone to dehydrate nail plate
3 buff slightly
4 one light coat of binder and cure
5 base coat cure 120 sec
6 thin coat of colour cure 120 sec
7 thin coat of colour cure 120 sec
8 thin coat of colour cure 120 sec
9 Top coat capping free edge cure 120
10 finishing wipe
11 cuticle oil
But sometimes the polish looks translucent or when I'm applying the first coat it's really watery so it sort of goes all over the place? I don't know what to do & my confidence is so low on doing them now
