Katherine, I have used the OPI brush and I liked it also..but then I bought the brush set from STAR... talk to Lorraine from manicuresthatlast..she sells them... The gel brush makes applying the gel so smooth and easy... and I believe you get like 6 different brush heads... and it is full sized...

Gel lifting, now gel polish brush I had lifting problems wit my gel polish until I got the OPI gel polish brush. It is real small and forces me to apply the gel much thinner. One of the things on my shopping list for IBS Las Vegas is a find polish brush that is the same size as the OPI brush but with a full size handle. The OPI brush handle is half the length of a regular brush handle and it drives me nuts. I love the bristle size, hate the handle length and with. Too skinny and too short of a handle. Anyone know of a gel brush that matches that description?

One thing I have found is that people whoare proficient in traditional gels over apply the gel polish. If you arestill having lifting issues over a traditional gel base, then I am notsure what is going on here. I might try one more time with thatclient. Traditional gel base, remove the dispersion layer, a quickwhite block buff to the whole nail then your UVGP color layers VERYthin.

I'm also using Brisa Traditional Gels with the same light and NOT havingany problems with my traditional Gel clients.... so I'm ruling out mylight. UNLESS one cures differently than the other and possibly the SOneeds a stronger light? (just thinking outloud) My Nailite GIA is lifting, apparently from the front (since the clientpeels the whole thing off before I see it), occasionally from the side(maybe too close to cuticle I would think). I was using the Gentle Primerbut clients said the WHOLE piece would just peel off... so I went back toSomething Wonderful. but, I'm still having lifting issues. The last timeI did this client I was really careful about not getting too close to thecuticle and wrapping the front edge. Actually, the one that just called Iput a base of traditional gel down and put the S.O. over the top, leftthe dispersion layer and didn't prime it. She lasted about a week. Priorto this she had been getting two weeks sometimes three. It seems like Iwas having really good luck with the S.O. and now I'm almost afraid toput it on anyone. Any thoughts would be SO VERY helpful... Roxanne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups"NailTech" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
