IBD Bonder - To cure or not?

[Tinaballerina]

Hey Geeks,

I have done a search and some people cure and some don't!

Should you be curing the bonder for 1 min under the lamp? if so do you need to us ecleanser to remove it or can you just apply your first gel layer straight after?

Thanks

hiya
on my gelac course we were taught to cure the bonding base coat for 1 min under 36w lamp and then carry on with the colour. I have had varying results with my gelac, definitly lasts longer on strong nails. After curing that base coat for 1 min I have been brushing through with a normal gel brush to make it a bit more tacky for the colour to stick to, this have given me better results xxx

oh and capping the free edge with all coats makes loads of difference, mine has been on for 10 days now and no chips x
