Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Design doesn’t spread	Blooming gel layer too thin or partially cured	Apply a slightly thicker layer of blooming gel and make sure it is completely uncured
Design spreads too much	Too much blooming gel or very runny art gel	Use a thinner layer of blooming gel or less product for your design
Blooming is uneven	Blooming gel applied unevenly	Apply blooming gel smoothly and evenly across the nail
Colors muddy together	Too much product or overworking the design	Use less gel and avoid dragging the brush through the blooming gel repeatedly
Design keeps moving before curing	Letting it sit too long	Once the bloom looks good, cure right away to freeze the blooming process
