Gelicure

[JuicyLucy]

I used to apply Gelicure as normal in either a similar or contrasting colour to the glitter. Dip a brush into the glitter and dab onto the cured sticky layer then topcoat. If you rub rather than dab you get a more foil effect. I have one bottle of topcoat that I only use for glitter work.

For larger glitters, I sprinkled onto uncured Electric Touch and then cured and topcoat x 2 to get a smooth finish.

Pop a wet wipe under the clients hand or foot before any glitter work to catch the bits and keep the area clean.

However, I have not used any of my loose glitters since buying the Light The Sky range. The effect is identical and much less messy.

Thank you very much for that! Very helpful!
When i had a sample nail done at Manchester last year, the nubar lady tapped her brush over un cured layer of Gelicure for a tiny amount of glitter. Did you do this too?

Yes, you can do it that way too. Just have a practice and see which method you prefer. I preferred the brush dipping and dabbing because it was less messy.

Thanks for that juicyLucy. Was also wondering if you offer a discount price if a client has both nails and feet Gelicure in same appointment?
I charge twenty for hands and the same for feet. Is this ok?
Was wondering if its worthwhile doing both for thirty five if in same appointment?

I seem to remember reading further up the thread that you buff the acrylic top and go straight to colour, forget step 1, step 2 and base. Hope i am right!

Hi everyone I have been using gelicure now for 3 months and I love it. The only thing is the last few applications I have done I have had a problem with it shrinking at the free edge after it has been cured and end up having to do more layers. Just wondering if anyone can give me any advice

 

[frankie91]

Hello. I love it too. Are all your bulbs working in your lamp? Sometimes they need turning round or cleaning of bits of Gelicure that get stuck on them. If that still doesn't work maybe buy some new bulbs.
Also are you giving your bottles a really good shake up?
Hope that helps

Good morning
Just wondering if any of you ladies have had one to one Gelicure training at your home? And how much you paid? And what you did in it?
Thanks

My training was one to one as only I had booked on the course!

Have you done the Gelicure course Frankie? I was having some problems so got in touch with my trainer & she invited me back in for some one to one time to answer my queries & go over the technique etc. She didn't charge me for that. To be fair if you're having problems I think it's fair to have those answered etc without paying. It's in Palms interest as if applied correctly, clients come back & they sell more!

No i haven't done the course but seem to be trouble free at the minute. Its a fair way to travel on the train and if i don't need the course i won't bother for now.
I have a nubar lady coming to my home next week which i am very excited about! Will be very helpful to see everything in person making buying online easier.
Just need to get more clients having Gelicure!

Do you not need to do the course to buy the product?

As long as you hold a Manicure and Pedicure certificate. I want to do the course anyway though.

I'm not happy with gelicure - got a demo @pb and cannot get it off! Gelish & Shellac were a breeze...but gelicure!!!!!!!!!!!!! arghhh.:Scared:

 

[cloughers]

I use Gelicure and Gelish and find them both the same to get off. I have removed Shellac and it was easier but then I don't think it's as long lasting and doesn't make nails as strong.
