You can't over cure Top Gloss (not sure why someone had a problem with that), I have cured it more than twice plenty of times and its never gone dull. However you CAN over cure Base'n'Gloss or Options Clear - both of these can turn out dull if you cure a lot longer than 2 minutes. On Sep 15, 5

You can wipe with Alcohol, Acetone or even a combination of both if you wanted. Typically dullness is from bulbs that aren't high quality. There are some other reasons people will see dull finish, one being as you said about it going on too thin, most cases this isn't a problem, but make sure yo

Instead of soaking them with water, why not spray them with water on both sides with a spray bottle and then just roll them up. This way, you can actually add some essential oils to the water for an added bonus! R On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 3:43 PM, Wet Paint wrote: > > I still need ideas for wrin

You don't have a 36 watt lamp. You have 9 watts of light from 4 different angles. If 36 watt lamps existed in our industry then you'd be looking for 36 watt bulbs to put in them:) As for price, I find most suppliers charge about the same. Maybe an online supplier like Nailite? Nicole Sent on t
