Sounds like too much mica, I have been using them for a long time and I find the application is very hit and miss. Too much mica and the next gel layer won't bond to the mica layer. Mica won't cure when mixed with gel either, as the light can't penetrate.
You need to build up the colour rather than trying to get all the mica on in one layer, very thin application is key and float the clear gel over rather than getting it mixed up with the mica underneath as this will inhibit the curing, some micas are high in oxides, which will prevent curing completely, dark colours are more prone to this.
I only use mine with L&P now.
