Answer
Hi Sharon,

It sounds like your client's previous tech used an electric file to "trench" the existing product to create the new white smile/tip.  She would have filled that trench with white acrylic.

If you're rebalancing this set, you would just debulk all the old product (file it down about 75%) and then add your fresh product on top as if you were creating a new overlay (which you ARE doing, basically. *g*)  In my opinion, using your white and pink acrylic powders (instead of just polishing) gives the nicest looking enhancement.  Definitely continue to do a full, pink and white rebalance for the prettiest look.

I hope this helps!  Feel free to follow up if you have any more questions!
