Jill, It is taking me about that long to rough up the surface, wrap with cotton and foil, remove and buff, push back cuticle and file and shape natural nails to get ready for new gel polish. It is taking me at least an hour to an hour and 15 min to complete the service. I really can't see how everyone is doing these so quickly. I didn't wipe off the dispersion layer the other day. I just forgot too. I wonder if it makes a difference. I would not think it would. I did a french and it did not shink back on me. I am curious to hear what everyone thinks about the dispersion layer.

OK, so I hit a snag with the new hybrid uv polish. I tried to soak off the Gelish on 3 clients and it would not budge. I even filed over the surface before wrapping them in acetone and foil. I had to scrape with an orangewood stick and re-wrap repeatedly, which then left flaky white patches on their natural nails....not good when we were aiming for a french. What the heck is up with that? The only thing I could think of is that I overcured the product maybe? I'm using the foundation, color, then the top it off. I couldn't get the Gelish cd to play in either of our pc's, so I finally had my husband pop it into his X-box, so I just learned that I was supposed to wipe off the foundations tacky dispersment layer....which I had not been doing. Do you think this caused the problem? I'm still making do with my old Pro Finish lamp (five 4 watt bulbs) until I can order an LED light. However, the Shellac soaks off easily and I do the steps the same way as Gelish, but the Shellac is not as durable as the Gelish (at least not on my problem clients). I left a message at Nail Harmony so hopefully someone will call me back in the morning so we can get to the bottom of this. Any of you all experience this?
