Gelish Dip help, I hate it!

[KitKat80]

Ive just received my Gelish Dip delivery today and was soooo excited to try it. Am so disappointed...i hate it. I cant get a smooth finish, its messy and the brushes have hardened soooo quickly. Has anyone else used this and can give me any tips?
Thanks xx

Have you done the training?

Sounds like you have maybe contaminated the brushes causing them to harden.

When you say you can’t get a smooth finish do you mean the actual acrylic on the nail or just when applying the topcoat it isn’t smooth?
