Hiya,
I am really new to this Gellux lark, only qualified a few weeks ago, but I've already done quite a few sets of nails with no problem.
Today I was doing a wedding party including the bride, so obviously wanted them to be perfect, so imagine my absolute horror when I was doing the bride's toenails in oriental poppy and the gel kept shrinking and wrinkling but only on her big toes! The rest of the toe nails were ok, but I did find that the little ones did look like it had melted a bit. I took the big toes off and did them again, but the gel still shrunk, but didn't wrinkle this time, thank god as I could feel the panic rising. The bride was happy with the end result, but I said she didn't have to pay for them, as I wasn't 100% happy with them.
I cured the nails for the set time, 30s under the LED lamp, but I just don't know why it happened just on her big toenails. I didn't have any problem on any of the other girls nails, and I was doing hands and feet.
I was doing them at 1pm today, in my conservatory, so I don't know if that would make any difference as it was really hot even with the massive fan that was going??
Any advice would be appreciated, as I have clients booked in all of next week and as I am trying to build up my business, I want to do a really good job on everyone. Also I don't want to have to keep giving discounts, as I'll never make any money.
Thanks
