Hi guys,
No surprises but I've already come across due to lack of inexperience a huge disheartening issue on my very first set of Shellac.
You may have remembered I posted, very happy & excited to have finally 'gone for it' & had my training.
I've just tried to remove mum's Shellac and it's been a total nightmare. I know it's me but I could do with some pointers as to where I'm going wrong.
I used nourishing remover, saturated the removal wraps well (I know because I ruined one of my own nails due to leakage - yes I know to much exposure for both mum and I
)
Anyway 8 mins later hardly anything budged, soaked again for the same time and this was the result. I used the old uv top coat so I know it's not as quick for removal. I also tried to apply base coat thinly but maybe not enough? But in my mind at least the colour would have been removed.
I also used the new CND LED lamp but accidentally used the 2S instead of the 3 for the top coat.
What have I done wrong? Have I applied colour coat too thick? But even so after so long it was not coming off. I literally had to scrub and scrub with nourishing remover to get it off and it took ages.
Feel such an idiot because I don't know what I've done wrong or how to correct it. I don't want to start fretting again that I'm not going to be able to do this so please can someone give some advice and reassurance?
Thank you![Oops! :oops: :oops:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
