I use Gelish and whilst most colours are ok I find Tahiti Hottie keeps shrinking back before I cure it. I seal the edges exactly same for all colours and they ok. Why would this happen? Its my most popular colour and am at a loss as to what to do.
 
If you've ensured that you've shaken the bottle well, done you're prep ok etc etc, then resort to applying first cost of colour on to 2 nails. Give them a 5 or 10 second cure (depending on your lamp) this should 'lock' the gel and stop shrinking.
Repeat until you've done 5 fingers and then cure for 2 mins as normal
HTH. X
 
I've noticed that with a pink I was using the other day for the first time (would have to go back and check the colour though, but not Tahiti hottie). Have you tried perhaps flash curing perhaps every 2 nails?
 
Yes, bit of a pain so thought maybe would be easier solution. Dont know why this colour. Thanks to you both x
 
I've got tahiti hottie coming in soon, so once I use it I'll let you know if I have any issues. X
 
I've had mine for a few months and haven't had any shrinkage problems.

Are you dry brushing?
what's the temperature like where you are working, Could that be affecting it?

Other than that try flash curing as the other geeks have said.
