Renee, I have never had to start totally over. I buff or file until the pitts where gone then either apply one more coat of color if needed or just the top coat. I have also seen the pits on the first coat and went on with the second and top and they turned out fine. Yes the inconsistency of these gel polishes are very frustrating, but together we are all working out the bugs. I guess we could think about it as job security. Angie
