You have to be very careful to float the top coat over the design.
So ever so lightly drop your top coat onto the nail and rest your brush on top of that drop and glide the top coat over the nail.
If you apply pressure and drag the brush over the nail then you will ruin your paint work because the top coat has made the design wet.

are you using a top coat made for airbrush? you should be able to apply top coat right away, there is no need to wait for is to dry.

Is your paint too thick on the nail?

Deffinately as susie says, i had the same problem to begin with untill i kind of drizzled the top coat on and them only used very light (little preasure) strokes to even it out. HTH

i also use medea products and one of the main things i do is make sure i dry the paint well with the airbrush as im doing the layers and then again once ive finished the design.you may already do this but if you dont it could make a huge difference.x

HI I done this course great fun, anyway I was also having the same problem, I found i was not covering the finished design with the airbrush sealer correctly (i also use medea stuff). Once i coverd it with the airbrush sealer was ok to put topcoat straight away, dont give up
