Problem with Black Shadow Gelish

[tracylou81]

This is the only black I have and I have to do 4 coats this won't be a problem once my gelish lamp comes as won't have to wait 2mins under the lamp I've got a customer this afternoon wanting black anything I can do to make applying quicker as I know it's going to take me ages thanks

Give the bottle a good roll, mine only takes 2 coats. Maybe the pigment has settled at the bottom?

i had one, fine when it was new, but one day went to paint it, is seems to have lost its pigment, took me 4 coats and it was still wishy washy. gave it a good roll/ shake and everything, Its the only one i had issues with, wondered if this has happened to anyone else. I got a new one and hope this one stays ok.x

I have the same problem. My first ever bottle of black was perfect, but this second bottle I swishy washy. I try rolling, shaking everything and I still need to do 3 coats to get the right look. I have two clients who only have black, nothing else, so it's a pain that Harmony have changed the consistency of the colours.

I can't possibly live without my Gelish, so come on Harmony, give us a solution to this problem.

Me too, mine need at least 3 coat, I felt that Gelish are better at glitters, I never found any gel that are better than Gelish, but they are weak in pastel or pure color, they are improving, but I still got problem with pure colour, some of them shrink. But I still love them, I hope Harmony will improve Gelish so I can love them more <3

Client had red in the end so didn't try I do love gelish but just wish all colours were the same can't wait to get my 18g gelish lamp will come any day that will speed up the process thanks all

Always roll the colours to mix the pigment especially if you've not used it for a while. My black shadow covers well with 2 coats but I prefer the look of 3 coats xx

 

[tracylou81]

Thanks will do from now on

I hate Black Shadow, mine needs 4 or even 5 with rolling.

I found same problem it doesn't cover in two coats, that's why I now have shellac running along side my Gelish . I know it's not a gel but seems more pigmented the black is luvly to work with and does only need two coats for perfect coverage &#128516;x

See I find my black shadow fine it's Queen if Hearts I hate using! Anyone else have trouble with red coverage? I've seen solutions to this problem in other threads and it is still streaky?

My hot rod red I think is the best for coverage out of my gelish colours! Mint icing however is a nightmare so thin!
