Applying water decals on Gelish

[nems2013]

I'm struggling to get water decals to last with gelish.
I did the whole gelish treatment through to the top coat, I buffed the top coat so there's no shine. Then prepared the water decals by soaking in water and pealing the film off and putting it on the gelish and then top it off again. I only got about 3 days wear out of them before the top coat actually started to peel off over the decals. Maybe I didn't let them dry enough?

Has anyone else got a better way to do it? Xx

i usually do 2 coats of colour apply the sticker and then topcoat rather than buffing over it again and they seem to last quite well, hope this helps [emoji5]️ xxx

I apply my decals to the sticky layer of colour gel then apply two layers of topcoat x
