Shellac pro 's help!!!

[Ambur30]

I still use Cuticle Away just because I like the finished product. I always make sure that I remove any remaining residue by spritzing with water before I proceed with Scrub Fresh.

I've experienced no problems with lifting.

I was doing the same, and having no problems. Well, aside from the spritzing. I would ask them to wash it off! Haha. But, since watching all the videos on the dry PEP, I tried it, and am SO glad I stopped doing a wet prep. It has helped me shave at least 15 minutes off of my enhancement time.

But, to each their own! I say, do whatever works, as long as it getting great results and isn't hurting your client!

You may be over stressing yourself over it. One of our nail techs went through this. She was just over thinking it too much.

Tammy, I think this is where I go wrong too - over thinking together with applying too thin. I am going to practice some more tonight. x

My mistake. I don't do enhancements any longer. I thought we were talking Shellac.

I tried doing a completely dry PEP for Shellac and I just wasn't happy with my results. I was leaving too much cuticle on the nail plate so I went back to cuticle away.

Oh, I meant either! Haha. I wish I could get rid of enhancements, honestly. Shellac is pretty amazing stuff, and I always recommend a client keeping her natural nails. But, I do have clients who insist.

I have had a few customers who have had masquerade applied and they have chipped on a couple of fingers. so i tried the colour on myself, and it has also happened to me!

Shellac usually stays on my nails for an easy 2 weeks....not sure why this is happeneing...and only with this colour. It also seems really thin, compared to my other colours

I bought Masquerade recently and have had no prblems with it, it doesn't seem thin at all to me. I've applied it to 4 people so far, 2 of which had it on for 3 weeks! Perhaps you are applying your second coat too thick to make up for you thinking your first is too thin?

No problems with my Masquerade either , it lasted almost 4 weeks on a friend .

Maybe as said by Andrea you are overcompensating on second coat ?
