Gelicure

[GemmaLR]

I just put step 2 on the free edge and it's fine. It's still difficult to get off!

I only apply Step 2 with a thin swipe on the free edge, along the natural smile line on most clients. If any clients experience lifting or peeling near the eponychium then on the next set I will do a thin swipe across there also but it's rarely needed.

Speaking of experiments, I had a little play today, what do you all think? It's Honeysuckle with Purple Power tips and Electric Touch applied all over. Xx

Honeysuckle is my new favourite colour at the moment along with Purple Power, they look great together also

I've never done an infill so I'm not sure :-/ I find with my clients that they want a new colour, so I've alway just soaked it off :-/ xx

I Have in-filled successfully. Best done using the same colour though for best results. I remove the shine from the Gelicure. Apply Base Coat only to the re-growth area (or if there is a chip apply there also. Next apply 1coat of colour to regrowth/chip area. Cure. Apply colour over whole nail. Cure. Top Coat. I did A La Mode the other day - looked fab! ;-)

Yes, I think it's like a deep rusty kind of red xx

Don't know if this helps as colours always look different in the flesh.

I use nubar non acetone cucumber polish remover, it works brilliantly and smells gorgeous! Then follow it with nubar cucumber cuticle oil. X x

I use CND Disperse. If you had run out and were desperate you could use Vodka!! Never tried it though but it is alcohol - haha! ;-)

Lol Cazz, I did my nails with Blue Hydrangea today as well!! They needed changing and the sun came out so I went for it with a blue and teal rockstar fade xx

 

[cazz89]
