Good News:
I found my perfect medium shade of nude polish! It is Gelish Mauvy-Mauve (mini bottle). It's slightly deeper than one of my HG nude rnp shades: OPI Dulce de Leche. I love it!
Bad News:
While curing with my Mally LED lamp, a few of my nail beds began BURNING! As in HOT! not just "warn". Felt like a match was lit on them. OUCH!
I was a bit shocked, as this hasn't happened before (I've done 2 other gel manis with Gelish color and Mally base and top coat with NO burning). I honestly can't remember how long it took for me to pull my fingers out, I was just so stunned when the burning feeling happened. A few sec, maybe?
I read that this can happen if you apply layers on too thickly. I thought I applied pretty thinly, but???

Questions:
Now what?
1---Should I leave the polish on and hope all is well beneath it?
My nails do not feel sore now, but they did for several min after I finished the mani last night...
Or, should I remove the polish?
I thought this might just irritate them further, and thought I should just wait it out?
2---Since it was only on a few nails (maybe 3?), does that mean it was NOT the lamp at fault? but rather my application of the product on those nails? (my guess) Or could it be this particular Gelish color that was the problem? or?
3----
Does Gelish make a polish thinner???
Thanks for any help!
