Nail Care & Manicures - Gel nails


Expert: Liza Smith - 6/15/2008

Question
Hi Liza,

Please can you help me. I am going very wrong some where!!! I would just like to gel paint me own (long) nails. I have bought a UV lamp and also pink, white & clear builder gel. When I tried last night to paint a coat of clear on my nails - what a mess!!! They looked ok to start with, then I put in lamp for about 5 mins and took them out, still wet and they were all wrinkly!!! Should I not be using builder gel? Or is my lamp not good or where am I going wrong??? It left my nails all sticky!!

Thanks Louise

Answer
Hi Louise
Have you had any training in nails?
The reason I ask is so that I can word my answer differently, if you are a professional or a member of the public. I dont want to blind you with science!
Let me know and I will try to get to the bottom of your problem!

Liza
