Why Are My Shellac Nails Sticky?
The answer to this question is very simple. At the end of the application process the nails will always be sticky. In order to remove this all that needs to be done is a quick wipe down of the nails with a cotton ball wet with alcohol.

Hi, I wonder if you can help. I bought all the correct items for doing Shellac Nails. I filed them, pushed cuticles back, rubbed the scrub on them, applied the base coat thinly and dried them under the UV lamp for 2 mins. They were very sticky so I used the UV lamp again for another 2 mins – still sticky so I put them under the lamp again and still sticky. So I decided just apply the Shellac nail polish anyway and they were still sticky after using the Lamp about 6 more times. I applied the top coat and they never did dry. When I got up the next morning they were covered in fluff and it just started to peel off and they were still sticky to the touch!!! What am I doing wrong? Hope you can help as I’m at my witts end now after having tried over and over again!!! Thank you Desperate Christine.
