LITTLE PRINCE GEORGE ...What a great review Frances! LITTLE PRINCE GEORGE is a divine colour on you!<br /><br />Just thought we'd pass on some of our knowledge about the reasons for early peeling so you can get the great long lasting results you can expect from gelicious. <br /><br />There are two main causes for peeling or lifting. It can be due to oil on the nails, or too thick an application. Before you apply geliciousTM it is important to wash your hands and give the nails a light buff to remove any oil on the nail. You can also wipe over with some acetone based nail polish remover (non-moisturising), but make sure they are fully dry before application. Then push back your cuticles to make it easier to apply without touching them. If you do touch your cuticles with colour it can lead to lifting as the nail grows. <br /><br />Before applying, shake the bottle well, and then try to wipe most of the product off the brush. Swirling the stem of the brush around the neck of the bottle, then wiping the brush backwards and forwards is a great way to do this. Each coat should be very thin - the first coat will look patchy but the second coat will look great. The great thing about gelicious is that it is self-levelling and won’t dry until you cure it under the lamp. This means you can take your time to make sure you get an even and thin application. It can take some practice to get the hang of really thin coats, and it is worth noting that some of our pastel colours look more opaque with three thin coats. As you apply, sweep the brush across the nail at the same angle, trying not to lift it at the end of the nail. Lifting at the end can lead to a thicker layer at the tip, which can then be prone to peeling. Finally, apply the ULTRA GLAZE TOP COAT, again making it as thin as possible. Try to overshoot the colour without touching the cuticles and lightly brush across the tip of the nail to seal in the free edge. <br /><br />The other thing worth remembering is to avoid contact with household chemicals as this can lead to early lifting, so make sure you wear protective gloves when washing up and cleaning. Pool chlorine can also cause gelicious to lift.<br /><br />It isn’t unusual for one or two nails to peel or lift before the others, and this is often due to wear on those fingers we tend to use the most. The great thing about gelicious is that you can remove and re-apply just those nails, or you can patch a chip before it peels. For details on how to do this, please see our FAQ page here http://gelicious-store.com/faqs#7<br /><br />I hope these tips will help you achieve the long lasting results you can expect with gelicious! <br /><br />Happy blogging and nail painting!<br /><br />Love the gelicious customer service team xgelicioushttp://gelicious-store.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639729521104349797.post-20048447946335689202014-03-02T23:40:39.879+00:002014-03-02T23:40:39.879+00:00I've been having these done since Christmas no...I've been having these done since Christmas now and it started off really well, but at the salon they file off the old manicure and it's totally destroyed my nails, they are such a mess.

I like the idea of doing your own gels though, you'd save so much money. <br /><br />Grace x <br />grace-gibson.blogspot.co.uk ddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994943879017628461noreply@blogger.com
