Pati, I found it as a suggestion on Maggie's Facebook page-Notes. It was from another tech. After you cure the base, take a dry brush and wipe the tacky. It makes it drier, supposedly for a better grip and no shrinking. I am surely going to have to use Star colors tomorrow, so I will try that t

Also, I want to add, I use the Akzentz trick of only putting protein bond on the end of the nail so that it will soak off. If you put PB on the entire nail, it is harder to soak off. You put the PB on the ends so that you don't have any separation at the free edge. Hope this all helps! Thanks t
