No, I have not tried 2 coats of base, I will have to do that and see if it makes a difference...thanks! Lisa Lisa, No the DVD does not show the scrubbing. That is something I stated to do myself and found it really helped with the little bit of shrink-back I was experiencing. The darker colors need to be REALLY stirred up. Do not worry about bubbles, they will pop out as the gel sits and pop when applied.
Has anyone tried 2 base coats on those with weaker/damaged nails?

We adjusted her application and no more problems. Immaculate and thorough prep is essential. Lightly buff the shine off the plate Cleanse with eco Wipe Apply eco Base VERY thin - I have been using a scrubbing method of application for the base Cure 30 seconds in a 36w 4 bulb lamp Apply 2 thin coats of the color, curing each layer 2-3 minutes depending on if your lamp is new, bulbs are new and you wipe the bulbs down weekly to keep them working at optimum output. Top with eco Polish Sealer after removing the dispersion layer --OR-- Leave the dispersion layer and top with eco Clear, cure for 2-3 more minutes then Wipe the dispersion layer off. I have found less than healthy nails do have problems with these soak off gels. I have also seen those being transitioned from acrylics or hard gels experiencing problems - some chipping, breakage - for the first 4-6 weeks. I have also had 2 people tell me they had trouble with the base/color coats after using CND's ScrubFresh for prep - something in there reacted adversely with the gel. If you cured it TOO long then you could experience issues. If you applied the product too thick, you may see problems - mostly soak off time increase as well as the coming off in one piece problem. Longer is not always better - hahah that makes me think of that disgusting commercial I hear all the time on the satellite radio station. We realize you all hate spending money where you don't have to, and not buying the Wipe & Removal Solution will indeed save you money, but long term it will cost you time working with other products and time is money right? Those of you experiencing problems, if your application varies from this, let me know so I can help you trouble shoot!

My steps are what you have listed, but I have only one comment. The Eco DVD does not show scrubbing on the base coat, nor does it show thin coats. At least not what I consider to be thin coats. When I use coats similar to what the DVD shows, that is when I tend to have the rubbery, peeling off of the whole nail color issue. Also when I use thin coats the color is not very bold, expecially with the dark colors. I usually need 3 coats...JMHO > > Regards, Debbie ^v^ ^o^ //\o/\\ ^o^ ^v^ Webmaster - System Admin - IDSR webmas...@beautytech.com (AOL or AIM - NailGdsss) WWWeb Services, Ronkonkoma, NY & Rocky Mount, VA 631-981-1273 fax 631-981-7557 ONLINE STORE http://www.beautytech.com/shoppe & http://www.beautytech.INFO for Professionals for Consumers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
