Hi ladies!
I've just finished my level 2, at the end of our course we got trained in IBD gel nails - which I was really excited about, but I'm having a few issues so was hoping you'd be able to help me :|
Before using it my nails were an average strength, but in good condition overall, never had problems with dry/flakiness etc.
I've only used it twice on myself, but both times on removal my nails have been a total mess - peeling all over, and really dehydrated looking. Why is this happening?! Does IBD always do this?
I apply the gel layers really thin, and to remove I file/buff it a lot to break the seal, and then apply the remover for 15/20 minutes (it's recommended 10mins but its still completely stuck after 10). It doesn't "fall away" like it's supposed to, I still have to work quite hard to get the gel off which I think must be half the reason that they're peeling.
Where am I going wrong, why isn't it coming off easily and why is it leaving my nails in such a state? :Scared: My friends are requesting it but I'm really hesitant to put it on them because I don't want their nails to end up looking like mine do!
Thank you for any help xxx
