As far as the still tacky part, I have only had that in 2 cases... the first, I undercured. The second, I didn't use enough clean wiping pads... Now, I have a weird little system where I saturate the hands down pads with alcohol and turn them as I wipe so I can just use one pad for each hand.
As far as the sorta rubbery feeling... you'll get used to it. As a tech, it feels like normal polish when you are adding oil and lotion to the client. As a client wearing it, it feels sorta rubbery and weird. Not like gel, not like polish, not like acrylic. It took me a few days to adjust... LOL....

I removed the dispersion layer and it still felt kinda rubbery and a little tacky. I washed with soap and water and that helped but not shiney enough and still a little rubbery. I put on the Eco clear topcoat. Now I have the shine but not hard, still rubbery feeling. Is this normal with Shellac and Eco? I have only used Eco a few times and this is my first time with Shellac and I haven't put any of it on myself. So either this is normal or it is because I mixed these two products. My bulbs are new. I used the new CND lamp. Angie Wingerter-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
