Elena,
That is a GOOD thing for those who want it to stick. I just like how without
the primer it just peels away gently with the e-file!!
And now that I am typing this, I wonder if primer is also part of what I cannot
have on my nails and is helping the cause of my nails lifting off the nailbed
Thanks Rhonda.

NO primer at all. I only use it on the free edge and honestly, never had

I use alcohol to clean and dehydrate. Just plain ole Walmart brand.

I know that the Eco doesn't require primer, but are you not using primer on the
Nailite and the OPI as well, Lynnette?
If anyone has tried or is using the SO from TT, I used it without primer and it

I didn't prime at all! I thought part of the deal was that you don't
prime so I didn't. There's no priming or prep on Shellac- that's the
part I love. And the only line I've seen that doesn't require it.

Yes, but you have to completely encase it or it will wash off where

I'm going to try this - how long is the "flash" cure? You perfect the

I agree, the lamps should have a 3 min timer. As for the shrinkage, I have
been curing the base then using an acrylic brush dampened with some alcohol and
quick swipe the nails. When you apply your first coat of color you will not
have the shrinkage. I think Rhonda posted that. I tried it an

Terri,
I've found that if you remove the tacky layer after curing the base coat,
then applying the dark color over that it will not shrink and it cures and
wears fine. I actually do this with all of the colors. There is no need to
buff the shine from the base coat either, however, if you got a f

Elena,
Can you explain how you are applying your white? Are you applying it like
you would if you polished a french or are you applying it like gel and
floating it on. That's my struggle, I can't seem to figure out how to get
it on and look right.

Those of you who are having trouble soaking off...are you priming the
whole nail? If you prime just the free edge, you get a 10 minute soak off.
What I do is remove the shine from one hand and prep the cuticles, then
