Great info Rhonda... One other thing I will mention is that most
techs who are proficent at traditional hard gel have a little trouble
when first using UV Gel polishes. You need to think more "polish"
application as opposed to "gel" application.

Veronica, if you are using a primer pen, it is an acid primer. When
people say to use it only at the free edge, they are talking about
using a non-acid primer, like YN Protein Bond that Patti
suggested. We suggest that you only apply it to the free edge
because that is usually where you get separation, if you apply to
the entire nail, it will never soak off, you have to file off.
I would guess, you are either applying too thick and not realizing
it or you are getting it on the skin. One of my seasoned techs in
the salon "THOUGHT" she was applying it thin, but I did one of her
client's this week and all I can say is she uses three times more
than I do. Thin, thin, thin and when you think it's thin, make it
thinner. Also, we only do two coats of color. If you are doing 3
or 4, with base and top, that's a lot of layers. That thickness
alone will make it lift and peel. If you are not getting good color
coverage with 2 coats, I really don't think you are stirring your
gel enough. ManicuresThatLast sells an awesome spatula that really
gets a good stir from the bottom all the way up!
Hope this helps!

Everything i use is ECO or Star Nails. I dont buff the shine, I file
with 180 file. I file everywhere on the nail plate. They lift by
cuticle and the side walls. I will try no primer tonight and let you
know how that works tomorrow. I usually lif the next day.

I don't use primer and it doesn't lift. Are you lightly buffing the
shine off the top of the nails and around the cuticle area? Where do
they start to lift? I think you only have to cure the base for 30
seconds. I usually do one minute becuase I don't have a 30 second
option on my lamp. Lorraine can you over cure the gels? What is the
clear that you are using? I have used the clear that came with the
kit and it worked but I usually use Gelish top it off with the Eco.

Here are my steps:
1. take off polish and push cuticles back
2. file nails
3. brush off dust and apply dehydrator
4. apply primer pen
5.apply THIN layer of base (cure 2 mins)
6. apply eco's thick clear and again i apply it thin.
I put on about 3 or 4 layers and cure in 2 minutes each.
what am i doing wrong?

Hi Veronica,
What is your prep? Are you stirring the gel really well? Are
you applying each coat thinly? How are you applying the base
coat? The base coat works best when you use very little and it is
"scrubbed" into the nail.
