I've recently decided to go back into nails, so I purchased some Gelish to get acquainted with, as I really like the idea of gel polish.
I'm having some issues though and I was hoping maybe someone could provide some insight on what I am doing wrong, or maybe even point me to a Gelish trainer in Southwestern Ontario, Canada.
For some reason, it's just not curing properly. When I am apply the Top It Off top coat, I am getting trace amounts of colour on the brush. I am using the pH bond, then a single thin coat of the foundation gel which i cure with the Gelish MINI Pro 45 LED Curing Light for 10 seconds, two thin coats of colour (curing 30 seconds between each layer), and then when I go to put on the top coat, it's colouring my brush ever so slightly. When I wipe off the sticky layer, my lint free pad is usually clean, however, once in awhile it leaves a very faint smear. I'm using Bella's Vampire colour, I haven't played around with any of the lighter colours yet.
I'm wondering if it's me, the lamp, should I have gotten a UV lamp instead? Has this happened with anyone else? Any suggestions what to try?
Thanks in advance!
