Ok go some time left over and ofcourse I started thinking about nails...
Something bugs me about the opaque gel colors, They do fully cure on the nailbed eventhough the uv-ligth cannot cure them from under the nail, right? (well thats not actually a question as we all think so)
But why can't you use a opaque tip then (this beeing either white ore natural) with white ore opaque gel?
I just keep turning it over in my head, we are taught that it's beacuse the uvlight cannot penetrate, but it can't on a nailbed either? Whats the difference of a opaque tip and the nailbed (well apart from the obvious, but in terms of the see through thing)
As we build the apex with the opaque gel aswell, it can't be about thickness....
So is it just the white color we cannot use (this would be a possible explanation as it's more heavily pigmented than other colored gels, but I was told never opaque colors with a natural or white tip)
Maybe a silly question, but I've not been able to find anything about it, and it bugs the living h... out of me:irked:
