Pressed Flowers under L/P...help

[Cathie!]

Received my flowes from Dawn and Glo yesterday, beautiful, thanks.

Tried them out but the problem I had is that when capping with clear, when buffing the clear to a high shine it just sort of flaked off around the area I had applied the resin to secure the flower.

Is this because I didn't let the resin dry for long enough before applying the clear l/p.

All my products are EZ Flow.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I have had my flowers on my nails for at least 10 days and have not encountered any problems with them. All I did was stick them on with normal nail glue(!) and the put the L&P over the top. Like Karren asked, do you think you put enough product over to encase them? They can sometimes be a bit lumpy in the middle of the flowers so you do have to build the product up around that. HTH.

i think either your final coating was too thin, or your file to harsh, or a bit heavy with the file, if they are`nt flat flowers then as nikki says some have little bumps in them, dont worry you will soon get the hang of them !

Thankks for that. I think my clear must have been too thin. Will keep trying!!
