I did a beautiful french the other day with Shellac. I applied base, white, white color, top I cleaned the smile line up with a brush and some alcohol...not dripping tho....I blotted it first then cleaned up the smile line. Soooo shiny too...

I know there must be some trick or technique to doing french manis with the sogs...I first tried it with Shellac and it looked awful...the smile line was all uneven. i tried again with Star's ECO. Got the same results, and i did try sweeping the smile line with a dry brush. Also, i made sure it was really thin when i applied it. It looked terrible. I wondered if it were my lamp, but i haven't had any trouble with anything else curing. I should be getting a new lamp soon when Star gets their shipment in, but my cures have been fine with everything else--both sog and trad gel.Any other suggestions? I have a TON of french mani clients. Is there any tips or tricks yall could offer me? Why is the french the only thing i've had trouble with---is there just something about the white that makes it different than any other color?
