Hi all just got a new led lamp but have noticed that although so sets r curing ok I did some last night with Bellas Vampire and the top coat pulled the colour off. I cured for 60 secs but there was colour on my topcoat brush after
What lamp is is the 4 finger or new 5 finger lamp?
I find the with the 4 finger lamp the fingers do need to be placed exactly in the little guide dips to get the proper cure...especially the pinky!
30 second cure for colour coats and topcoat.
If colour comes off on your pad after wiping the topcoat that usually means you didn't fully cover the colour coat with it.
You need to float the topcoat over the colour and not let the brush go through and touch the colour as it will get on your brush. If it does just wipe the brush on a pad before you put it back in your bottle...we have all done it lol!
Thanks for that. It's not a Harmony lamp but a Salon System one, couldn't afford the Harmony one at the moment. It doesn't happen with Gelicure, just Gelish so thought maybe it's because I'm not using the Harmony lamp but I'll try being a bit more careful with the top coat.
Other LED lamps dont seem to cure gelish - i have an LED lamp that doesnt cure it. Its worth sticking with either the NH one or a 36w UV - NH state any 36w UV lamp will cure it x
I m thinking hand/foot placement important with led? . I ve got the artistic 5 finger lamp Which is very simular to the gelish 18g one. It's great but I m finding with pedicures it's not curing the top coat very well x
Just thought I d update - my curing problems weren t curing problems atall - I basically needed to let the tack free top coat cool down before touching or applying oil. User error !!!! X
You should always use the lamp designed for the product you are using if not you will experience problems
