bubbles under top coat

[kittenclaws]

i have done a set of gel on my own nails and they loked great but to decorate them i used rhinestones held on with top coat, yesterday i noticed the top coat was lifting in places so i removed it to make sureit had nothing to do with the gel underneath then applied another layer of top coat but the same thing has happened, it looks like large bubbles. has anyone else come accross this and does anyone know what the cause could be, any advice would really be great
thanks

so its definately not on the gel underneath? Bubbles in the gel sometimes occur if the gel is applied too thick (or been too vigorously stirred)

What gel have you used and what top coat have you used?

Must say i havent come across it but i am sure someone will have an answer for you!!

Hi there,

Maybe a Nail Art Sealer would be better for you as opposed to a thick top coat?

I agree with Claire, you may be better with a sealer, although I`ve used topcoat without any problems but I do find that I need to use bascoat on top of gel too to get it to adhere properly, have you tried that?
You could use a clear basecoat, put on rhinestones, then try your top coat again
