7. Troubleshooting Common Problems
Advertisement
While every do-it yourself manicurist faces difficulties, professional results depend on learning how to handle them.Discover how to spot and solve problems including streaking (usually from old or thick polish), bubbling (from applying thick layers or shaking polish), and lifting (usually from insufficient preparation or oil contamination).Should shrinkage with gel polish, change your curing time or distance from the lamp.For standard polish that won't dry, be sure you're applying thin layers and providing enough drying time between coats.Use a base coat always and choose premium polishes to address stains.If your manicure chips fast, review your preparation technique and think about using another base and top coat combination.
