Well I have been using Opti Bond, cure, 2-3 coats color, BnG. I have just been
hating the shrinkage! LOL
So the color will stick if you wipe off the dispersion layer???

With any color gel be sure to stir the gel because the pigment settles..so
stir it and get all the additional color from he bottom of the jar. As far as
coverage, it depends upon the color some are lighter than others. I do 2-3
depending upon how I feel the color looks. I've yet to do only 1 coat of color
gel.
What are you using as your base.. Base & Gloss or Opti Bond? I know Anna has
had a lot of success doing 1 coat of Opti Bond, cure, 1 Coat of Base & Gloss,
Cure, wipe off sticky layer with Prep,acetone or alcohol, and apply your color.
Wiping off the sticky layer prevents the color gel from shrinking back, But
note, using Opti Bond will make it more resisant to soaking off.
I'm sure Tammy will add to this if I missed anything lol

Ok so MY question is... How many coats of the Options colors are you
supposed to do?
I just received my Options yesterday and have done two clients: one on toes
and one on fingernails. I am finding that I have to do 3 coats to get rich
color.... What is the application technique? Thin layers or a ball floated on
like I'm building? I brushed on 3 thin layers. Also I did French tips on a
regular gel=2
0client with Midnite Dust and I notice that this gel draws up and bevels a
lot.... Any tricks to compensate for this?
Thanx in advance...

To simplify: they took the bonding agent thats in BNG and jarred it for better
adhesion in Opti-bond. So use your Surebond, Opti-bond scrubbed in nail since
your not building with this...you should still see the nail fibers when done,
make sure to cure that 2 min...then it you want you can use BNG to even out any
imperfections/ridges etc in the nail, cure 2 min. Apply your gel polish curing
between coats and then BNG as your gloss curing that 2 min. With your question
below are you seeing just the gel polish come off or everything???

Ok so my question now is, what's the difference between base and gloss and
optibond. I know Gina explained it in class, but god knows where I've put my
notes. I thought they were interchangeable?

Everyone I put it on has it come off in two to three days! I've
buffed all he shine from the nail, cleaned up the cuticles and tried
both the Sure Bond and the Affixit with no luck.
Anyone else having these problems?
