I'm discovering that existing gel users are applying other company techniques to our gel and it's creating those types of problems. My friends that used to use Calgel used a "knifing off" technique at the free edge (because I guess the gel shrinks back so much). Ours doesn't shrink back so much so the knifing off isn't necessary. When I apply I do five fingers at a time. I brush on the clear first (like polishing a nail) and cure 30 seconds. I then brush on a coat of color (thin and even like polish). By the time I get to the fifth nail the first couple have a tiny line of shrinkage at the very free edge. I just quickly brush over all five (not applying more color just pulling it back to the edges). It only takes me a second. Then I stick that hand in the lamp to cure while I do the other hand. ( 3 mins) I find that I don't have that bit of shrink on the second coat. I just apply a coat like polishing a nail and back in the lamp for 3. See if that helps you out Aimee. I'm even finding I don't have to tap my edges (like my traditional hard color gels). :) Elaine Elaine T.
