Pati (and everyone) I did mean to add one more suggestion to this never did. If you take a dappen dish and a little finishing wipe, you can dip your gel brush into that and "rinse" your brush free of your base coat or color. That is what I do when I'm working. I just swirl my brush into the dappen dish. I also find that it keeps my application soft. If I don't "rinse" the gel, it kinda makes the hairs seem stiffer. With a freshly rinsed brush, I'm back to that soft application I love.
