Yes, I've had it happen with the color coats, too, Angie. And yes, I've also had it happen with the shiny top coat on p&w. So frustrating! I'm having this particular client come back in tomorrow so I could redo hers, I was so dissatisfied with the results. I didn't have the time to take it off and redo them, and as bad as I hated to send her out with those nails, I had no choice due to my back to back facials for the rest of the day. So Becky, you just apply the base coat then take a dry paper towel square and wipe each nail? And if it pits, buff the pits out and then start over with another base coat? Or just buff and then start with the color? Geeze sometimes I really wonder if the gel polishes are worth it.
