Hello Diana ! I am NOT scrubbing it in to the nail but I am applying it very very thin. I just watched the video and it *looks like* Danny does 1 SUPER thin coat and then makes sure there is no overflow and then applies another thin coat. here is the video link: http://www.nailharmony.com/Video/VideoLibraryGelish.aspx however I plan to contact them tomorrow and ask about that. I will report back to what I find out.
I have not had any issues with Gelish whatsoever. I don't find the basecoat to be thick though ??? Are you floating it instead of pressing it ? hmmm, not sure... I'd call them if you feel it is thick, because mine is not. I'm sure that protein bond ( NuBond, other non-acid primer etc...) would probably help Shellac to last longer but I'm wondering if the soak off would be effected because of it and that is really the only reason at this point that I personally am using Shellac in some cases over Gelish. That is a good question. I'm sure someone on this list has added a non-acid primer to try it out and they could probably chime in. I do like that it is not needed with the Gelish though. He shows a dehydrator on the video but I have been using my scrubfresh ( like I do with everything) and it works like a dream :) Tickled Pink & Grey, ~Kimberly Lesser~ http://www.couturenailboutique.com Award-winning Nail Technician Articles and opinions published in industry magazines National & International Competitor Salon Nail Department Trainer and Mentor Inta Member AEFM Trained Creative Nail Design "Grand Master" 2000-2002 EZ Flow "Master Artist" Educator 2006 & 2007 Entity Competition Team Member 2006 & 2007 Entity Advantage Education Team Member On May 23, 11:10 am, Diana Bonn <[email protected]> wrote: > Kimberly, I am testing out both also.
