Morning Ladies,
I know there are MANY topics on this, so sorry if you have to hear about it all over again.
I'm having insane difficulty lately with my smile lines when doing gel. I find they look faded and blended. I can never get a crisp smile line when I'm working with gel.
I've even tried the reverse application and it doesn't work so well because the gel shifts and my "would be" smile line is no more. Is it maybe because I'm doing the whole hand before putting it near the UV lamp? Should I be doing it one finger at a time (reverse sculpt pink, let nail sit for 30 secs in front of UV lamp, then do the gel white, let sit in front of lamp, then work the next nail, etc... wouldn't that take a crazy amount of time?) I'm using IBD. I've watched the YN tutorial over and over again.
I've searched and found a TON of acrylic tutorials, but my acrylic smile lines are fine. Can anyone point me to some more gel smile line tutorials or maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks!
