I don't want to beat a dead horse here but.... Gel Polish....
I've sat here and read through all related posts using the search feature and am constantly researching how to better my techniques and services.
I see many experienced techs on here say that they often get a good 3 weeks from gel clients.
I am getting 11 days - 2 weeks (Gelish) before they start to get a chip here and there.
I have compiled a list of around 9 tips to remind myself to be diligent about during the application process (which I won't post on here as I know many non-qualified people also read these posts) and am starting to see better results. I know it's a matter of practice practice practice and perfecting the technique.
My questions are: Is that time frame an acceptable time frame for gels to last? (knowing that majority don't use any cuticle oils / gloves etc)
When you all started out, did you start to see better results after some time purely down to experience and technique? and lastly, is applying a second top coat really a magic fix all for making gels last longer?
I have become confident in my application but am wanting to reach that magic 3 week mark with no chips if possible
