Hi everyone,
Before I start, I’m a complete beginner, having just done a gel polish course. I’ve found this site really helpful and after reading some threads I decided to buy the INK london ilac pro starter kit with the Kool 48 lamp.
I worked in my first model yesterday and at the end I realised the nails hadn’t cured properly. I called INK and they said that I should have been using the 60sec cure setting - I’d been using the 120sec automatic setting.
I tried again today and the same thing happened after trying to cure the base coat on the 60sec setting. The nails were still soft. I tried one hand for an extra 30secs but it didn’t really make a difference. I’m making sure the hands are in the right place and using thin coats of polish. I didn’t apply the colour today as I didn’t feel comfortable going ahead and I’ll try again on my own nails tonight to experiment.
I’ve messaged my trainer but she didn’t have the INK it so though I’d ask on here as well.
Thanks in advance!
