Shellac layering advice

[Zooks]

Hi Geeks

Ive been doing Shellac for a few months but have only just felt brave enough to start playing with layering. I have been looking at Hollys Combos on her facebook page, can you tell me if its just one layer of each colour? Or do you need to do two of certain ones?

Thankyou

It's always better to do 2 coats of your base colour this will give you a much better overall finish and normally 1 coat of your layering colour.

IF I get good coverage with my base color I only do one coat. Most colors do need two coats, though. HTH!

I do one coat of each colour which is what I was taught on my Shellac course. It works beautifully.

Have fun . . . endless possibilities now eh? I have about 20 bottles but over 80 shades now thanks to the layering techniques.
