Hi ladies. I would be grateful if you could please advise the correct process for removal of shellac and then reapplication?
I have been having difficulty with the removal of shellac in that it is taking an awfully long time to remove (I use the Express5) and it seems to remove better on some fingers and struggle more with thumbs - also is more difficult on clients with ridged nails and I am left with some really stubborn rough patches. I was told by a tutor that it was ok to buff the nail to remove the remnants but having read some threads on here it seems that buffing is a no no?? This may be why I am having a few issues with adhesion?
Also once it is removed and you move on with your pep, do you soak the nails or go over them with soapy water with a lint free wipe or nail brush in order to remove the acetone completely to prevent the nails from dying out too much? Also, Would the use of cuticle away affect adhesion?
Sorry so many questions but have been having issues recently with peeling of the shellac and it not lasting the two weeks and have a couple of ladies with white spots too and wondered if this is to do with the removal process/not wiping off the remover/buffing the nail plate...
Any advice would be gratefully received.
