I just got shellac yesterday. Just to try it out I put some on over
my gels. I see there is a learning curve to this. It's going to
take some practice to get even coverage and get nice clean lines up
the sidewall and cuticle area. I didn't get any crinkling with the
Fedora, but it seems to me that the darker the colour the more
product you need to get it on perfectly and evenly. I had to go over
a few spots a few times to get even coverage. My bulbs are less than
a week old, so maybe that makes a difference. The shine is
beautiful. I'm lining up my guinea pigs so I can practice before I
put it on real cients.
I haven't quite worked out how I'm going to do a french. I prefer
the white on top of the pink/flesh tone....and I don't like having a
bump, so maybe i'll try that swipe method.
Now I'm gonna' go see how this whole soak off thing goes.

Cream Puff. And I repeat-- I AM doing thin thin thin layers. I had
it happen with the Fedora too. I also am using it over acrylic AND
traditional gel.

Ok, here's the only thing I'm doing different than you - I'm using
Gelish's "Top it off" gloss...... my Fedora has been crinkling on
everyone and this stuff smooths it right out.
*Sorry for mixing systems, but I LOVE Gelish's top coat!*

at least 3 of those were crinkled before the top coat......

Hey Becky... NOT only did the top coat not take it out, on 2 of the
4 the Shellac wasn't even stuck to the nail under the crinkle!!! I
buffed it off that spot and put another coat on the whole nail. It
was fine, but took extra time. :( Practice, practice, practice...

I use a base w/sog over acrylics - Foundation by Gelish. Should be so
thin you ScRuB it onto the nail.
Top coat takes out the crinkles in Shellac, don't panic. It's like
magic. :o)
