Mmmmm...Are you brushing the white on like a polish...? you are fine to do this with the first coat...but the second coat would need a thicker coat...although not too thick...Ok...when you have done your second coat and see a dip or patch..get a tiny bead of white and just touch the center of the dip or patch..then wait...see how it settles. Remember in training how you where taught how to fill a dip with the gel...its the same thing. To be honest i have found the more you play with it the more problems you have.

I find 2 coats more than enough...just go a bit thicker with your second coat and not as much pressure with your brush..and remember to wait a bit before playing with it...cos after its settled you may find its fine. HTH keep at it hun...it will come. xxx

Thanks Babes, I really appreciate your advice.
You are so right ~ I have been doing both coats like polish and playing - NO more!
I am going to practice tomorrow and let you know how I get on.

Ahhh - doesnt print out right how can I make it fit on a page.
Pretty please Mr Geek can we make this a Tutorial so we can have a printable version?

To make this a printable version is easy. Highlight the text then 'right click and the in the list that appears 'click' on 'copy'. Open Word or whatever equivelant you use and then on a new page 'right click' and in the list click 'paste' then you can save and print as you normally do in Word or whatever you use.HTH

Hi there
I have just bought the brisa prof kit so this is really handy for me as just started with gel.

Can I just ask POW - is that paint on white? Is that the same as the white gel paint? If so how do you get it onto your gel brush as mine is in a little bottle with it's own brush.

Also forgive me for being thick but i just wanted to check that the second coat is with the same white gel paint and not the clear?

 

[ValencianNails]

Yes POW means Paint On White... it's not a sculpting gel, you can apply it either with the brush that comes in the bottle or by using a gel brush dipped into the bottle. You use the POW for the first and second coats.
Make sure you're using the Brisa lamp to cure the Brisa gels otherwise you won't get a complete cure and could suffer from service breakdown.
Taking a class in Brisa would be better as you'll be able to get the best out of using the product.

That is more than helpful it is fantasticxxxxxxxxx so well explained:hug:

Paint On White....(its a thinner and self levelling white gel for doing a permanent french look...it comes in bright bright white and soft white) x

 

[CurlyQs]

Oh how I wish I had come across this earlier! I have seen lots of directions for smile lines with L&P but not gel. This is a GREAT explanation, Bagpuss. It looks much simpler than my random method that never looked right. I can't wait to try it!

Thanks a bunch!!! :hug: Alex
