Shrinkage!

[Weaze]

OK.I am really new to all of this so would really love some help on 2 problems i am having...
One is shrinkage! its doesnt happen all the time, although i use exactly the same methods on everyone.. so why is the gel shrinking??
Also, sometimes i have noticed that after curing, on some clients i have bubbles in the gel...its driving me crazy, because like the above problem, i am doing exactly the same thing on everyone, but different things happen to different people...
Can anyone help??

the shrinkage could be down to the fact that you might not be working fast enough. If you work too slow the gel will shrink. Try doing a couple of fingers, cure while you do a couple fingers on the other hand, and so on.

the bubbles could be caused from the way you're stirring the pot of gel. You have to do it gently or you'll get air into the gel causing bubbles.

Make sure you really cap the free edge of the nail and try freeze curing each nail for 10 seconds before doing a complete cure. This should help. Can I ask what kind of gels you are using? I've heard that soak-off gels are more prone to shrinkage than traditional, permanent uv gels.
