Correct Lorraine. You have to add specific initiators to the formula to cure in a UV lamp and to cure in an LED Lamp. So if a gel cures in both, it has two chemical initiators. If it cures in a UV only...it doesn't have the initiator that reacts to LED. I'm finding, in my research that not all

Brush Cleaner is for Acrylic brushes (used to do acrylic nails) If you want to clean a gel brush of gel, use alcohol. Even if the hairs are synthetic the Alcohol will not melt them. However, Acetone (in brush cleaner) will. Kind Regards, Elaine T. Watson Star Nail International Vice President

I tried Gelish for the first time today. It was a dark color and can some of you remind me why some of the fingers ripple? Is it because I applied too thick? Also, I ran a file very softly on the edge of the nails when I was done and some gel came off on my file, like it was still wet. I

Try to apply it thinner. Sometimes it just happens. If it is slight, the top it off usually fixes the problem. If it is a risk mess, bud it off and fix it. It WILL peel off. Buenos dias! Lynnette Diaz-Madden www.facebook.com/nailtech www.salon29.net Salon 29-where pampering and personal

The Gelish will absolutely wipe off if not COMPLETELY sealed. Shellac will do the same thing. Wrinkling will happen now and then. The dark colors are very touchy. Use extremely thin. Slight wrinkling will cover with top coat. Heavier wrinking and you need to file and repolish or you will have

Hi there. I had that problem as well. Make sure you cure for 2 min if you are not using the led lamp. You may also notice if under cured, when you apply the top it off, the color will drag onto the brush. Pain in the butt I know. Shawn On Sep 28, 2010 10:47 PM, lms...@aol.com wrote: I tried
