Hi Ladies
I have recently taken on shellac and to be honest I've had lots if issues with it but recently i have been finding that the brush within the shellac bottle is so flimsy and makes it very difficult to evenly and thinly apply the thick shellac.
Have any of you nail geeks that offer shellac know what I am talking about or is it just me?
Do you think it would be possible to use a brush that is more coarse allowing even spread like you woul use for applying gel?
I am also finding the shellac itself very think (even if i shake and shake and shake!!) Not only that but i find that by shaking thoroughly the shellac goes all the way up the neck of the bottle and all over the top of the brush making it difficult to clean off.....Let me know your thoughts.
I keep thinking I've made a mistake investing in shellac and possibly should have gone with something else as I have had a few clients say that it has peeled clean off etc which also worries me as does the fact that I can't seem to get on a training day for love nor money! AND the fact that there is no list of do's and don't given to us when we take on the product
I have called s2 a few times and they don't have anything they can send me about what aftercare advice to offer clients??
I am quite worried that after posting a couple of things on here regarding shellac I have been advised that deet (insect repellant) can "melt" shellac (not being funny but how would I have known this if this wasn't advised when purchasing the product) and if i didn't know it how would my clients be expected to know it? Plus I also heard thyroid meds can affect the wear of shellac? so what other meds should we be aware of?
I mean what other things can affect it? I obviously tell people to try to be careful still and wear gloves when washing up and using any cleaning products etc but i'm just not happy that I don't have a proper aftercare advice sheet that i can give them?
HELP!
