OK. First when you prep for rebalance, be sure you are taking the free edge product down to the natural nail. Apply your affixit then bonding. Then your color is sitting just on bonding gel - if your color is on clear or anything else when you go to finish file you will likely file off color which will require the touchups you had to do. If I'm working to get a nice sharp smile line I freeze one hand while I do the other back and forth to make sure the lines are sharp. Then apply your builder, modeling, natural or trilite - which ever you want to do your fill with. Be sure to put a big of that over the clear.... your colors are flexible so its good to have a nice hard gel layer. Finish file and top gloss. I have no idea why the top gloss would be pitting, typically only happens when you apply too thin.
