Hi everyone,
I really hope you can help!

I'm qualified in ibd just gel, Orly FX and Jessica Geleration.

My nails at the moment are a hit and miss.
They even peel off or my application is pants (especially light colour's)

Has anyone got any tips?!
I'm thinking of opening a room in my home and I'm petrified that everyone will think their nails are pants!

When I first started gels I was awful! But practice really does make perfect. I'm trained in shellac opi gellish and ibd and I have to say I'm still getting to grips with ibd! I find it the hardest to use as the colours are quite watery and need lots of coats.. I find with gels preparation of the nail first is key!!! To stop them peeling off so easily you need to make sure the nail bed is as dehydrated as possible. I buff the nail and gently use a file to scratch the sides of the nail to stop peeling, then, I wipe over the nails with pure acetone. Then continue with a bonding aid or primer before I put the gels on. Hope this helps xxxx
 
Do you have a lamp for each system and are you using the complete system or mixing/matching? x
