Hi all
Please can someone clarify exactly what needs to be done when doing an infill with gel (I use NSI). A couple of weeks ago I did myself a nail overlay (French), so no tips used. I now need to do the infills. Do I file all over (but not worry about removing everything) and apply a 'lock in layer' all over? Or do I just apply gel to the new area of nail showing around the cuticle. Likewise, if I had applied tips, I know I need to check the apex and the smile line etc but I'm confused as to again, whether the lock in layer gets applied all over the nail or just at the cuticle. Surely if applying all over, its not much different from doing a fresh set. Yet if I put it just on the new nail growth, I don't know if this would show up when finished.
Hope this makes sense.....
