NailTech:: Transfer foils on gels

Am I just imagining it or have I seen foils applied to gels on the sticky layer? I've tried it w/ very little success. It could be the foil I bought. Any ideas? Thanks Michelle Phoenix, Owner/Elite Nail Technician Wet Paint Nail Spa Nails, Skin & Hair www.wetpaintnailspa.com -- You received

Re: NailTech:: Transfer foils on gels

Michelle, I use foils on gels all the time! I remove the tacky layer and apply the adhesive just like I would on acrylic. The only difference is you can't cover the entire nail. Once the foil is on, I apply the gel sealer and cure! HTH! Mare Horak National Director of Education Nailite

Re: NailTech:: Transfer foils on gels

I've done this a lot. I never use the glue. I can't seem to time it quite right so I just use the tacky layer. I do spots of foil since I can't get the whole thing to come off completely covering the nail but it still looks cool. Michele Sent from my iPhone On Feb 9, 2012, at 7:42 AM, "Wet Pa

Re: NailTech:: Transfer foils on gels

I use foil almost daily if using the glue it has to be totally dry if using the tacky layer take some acetone and wipe off the brown back layer before you apply look at Robin Moses videos she is the bomb at all nail art!! Cherie Byklum Sensationails & Hair www.mysensationails.com Sent from my i

Re: NailTech:: Transfer foils on gels

It's very random and looks really cool, to get complete coverage, you need to use adhesive. On Feb 9, 2012 8:15 AM, "Michele ." wrote: > I've done this a lot. I never use the glue. I can't seem to time it quite > right so I just use the tacky layer. I do spots of foil since I can't get > the whol

NailTech:: Help-- I need a solution!

I NEED HELP! I have a client who has worn gel polishes for the last couple of years with NO problem! She could seriously go for a month and the color never chipped or peeled... suddenly it's peeling/chipping within the first week. WTF?! How do I solve the problem? Changing lines is not working:

Re: NailTech:: Help-- I need a solution!

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you. Just wanted to say that I have seen a lot of posts here and on Beautytech where folks are describing the exact same thing. I doubt these were tested on folks getting their nails done every two weeks for several years. ~Jenn Sent from my iPhone O

Re: NailTech:: Help-- I need a solution!

Maggie, How can you be certain no variables have changed? With her, with your prep, with your productsthere are so many variables it's difficult to narrow it down. You will need to honestly look at every aspect and try to identify the problem. My first step would be to look at the lamp you're

Re: NailTech:: Help-- I need a solution!

Well you know all the trouble shooting questions... Any changes in diet, medication, health etc. or in procedure or product ... Did you change hand soap? Etc. Have you tried using one of the protein primers ? Are her nails buffed too smoothly? I once had an issue with one nail repeatedly -- a

RE: NailTech:: Help-- I need a solution!

Are her nails also peeling at the free edge? I use primer on my ladies who have this problem, it seems to help. Just swipe it on the free edge. Laura M. From: nailtech@googlegroups.com [mailto:nailtech@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Maggie in Visalia Sent: February-09-12 4:37 PM To: 1N

Re: NailTech:: Help-- I need a solution!

Thanks for everyone's efforts! Ok: I'm pretty sure nothing on my part has changed, largely because no one else is suddenly presenting any issues. About half my clients are gel and/or gel polish.  This is about the 3rd time the same client has reported that she's not getting a full week out of

Re: NailTech:: Help-- I need a solution!

I would add a teeny tiny thin layer of acrylic blended into the free edge for the next couple of times to give her nails the chance to grow out past where she *probably* (i.e. most likely!) peeled the gel off and ruined the adhesive surface that the fingernail must have in order for the gel t
