i too have had probs with this !! with Brisa Gel (only gel i use)
on a lighter note though - chatted to Diane at CND leeds who was extremely patient and helpful and helped me try something else
See i was told on my training for a simple french long lasting look use the bond, white on free edge and then finishing gloss - fab and works on my toes a treat over 4 weeks too ! Silly me thought same would work on fingers !
I did some on one of my clients fingers thinking would last the same but didnt last long at all ! oops why a base of clear or pink is puton is so that the white has something to grab hold of ? - works for me !
Anyway Dianes advice was to try the following
Bond
thin layer of pink or white gel
1 or two coats of white gel or white paint on gel
clear gel if need to fill gaps etc
finishing gloss
* oh and very important cap the edges !!
well i have tried a couple of things, and my client rang me yesterday her left hand which i only capped with finishing gel !! rather than the pink is coming away after 1 week, her right hand (shes right handed!) is still going as strong and looking as lovely as the day i did them over a week ago !! (should really say that as somethign is bound to happen now eh ! lol !) Shes coming back tomorrow and im gonna buff off left hand and apply exactly same on left as i did on right and see what happens then !! shes very patient and doesnt mind helping me try these things !
Obviously in all of the above ive done a thorough prep and cured inbetween layers and removed inhibition layer and buffed before applying finishing gloss.
Hope this all makes sense - i just wanted to feed in what im trying to see if helps ??
I was going to add to previous thread after a little longer so that I could update Diane (tigger!) too - have you searched and read previous threads on gel ??
sorry if garbled but hope some of it makes sense or even helps a little even though you maybe using a different products
