Gelish advice - white tips

[Curlylisa]

Hi

I hope you can all give me some advice. I have been using Gelish for the last couple of months and love it! I am starting to get more people wanting a french manicure and I find that the white can be quite runny and leave streaks once it has been cured. I have tried putting a really thin layer on and also the opposite and putting a decent amount on the brush but I just find it a bit tricky!

Can anyone give me any helpful tips?

Thank you!!!

Its best to apply Sleek White in 2 very thin layers than 1 thick layer. Usually after i apply the second layer, it doesn't look as streaky. Make sure you shake the bottles for a good 30 seconds before application.

I was taught not to shake.

Sleek White seems to "bleed" on top of other layers, so I've been thought to "dry brush" before applying the white french layer.

I use any of my brushes, clean and dry, and quickly drag is along the layer, either it be Foundation Gel or whatever color you use for your french. Then once I apply the french tip, I use a different dry brush to clean the smile line and anything else that might be "out of place". Cure and then you should be good. I apply a 2nd layer of white tip, clean the smile line if needed and then cure.

Hope this helps!

You are not supposed to shake. But roll the bottle in your hands

Hi,

I find if I flash cure each finger for a couple of seconds under the LED, this stops the bleeding, I do this on the first coat, the second coat seems to be ok, I only ever put two coats on and it always looks lovely and white
