Please help! Having problems with white gel on free edge!

[helkat]

Hi everyone: I am a newly qualified Nail Tech and am still perfecting my technique. I haven't done many sets of french gel nails, but find that when I do (I did my own yesterday) my free edge is really thick. What is the best way to get the white on the edge without having shadows or using too much product? I am at a loss and really need your help!

i apply my brush on white using a dotting tool,i find i have better control over the product and once i have applied it i then wipe any excess of the dotting tool and then wipe my dotting tool from smile line to free edge to remove more of the excess product to which allows me to make the free edge not too thick.x

:cry:this might sound like a stupid question, but what is a dotting tool? I saw it mentioned before when I was doing some searches.
