Foils, gel topcoat or normal varnish topcoat?

[mandaxmx]

hellloooo everyone ....

i know this might be a bit of a dumb question but ill ask it anyway .....

when i use foils (either on tips or over whole nail) .. is it ok to use a gel topcoat over it??? or would i have to use just a normal topcoat varnish??? .......
the gel top coat would help it last that bit longer would it not?? or am i totally wronggggg?? ..
im waiting on my foil to come otherwise i would of tried it out on myself before asking...

Hi

I use foils and have tried this and the gel top coat chipped!!!! I think a gel top coat needs a dull surface to cling to. I just use an ace top coat and it stays. I put foils on my big toe nails 6 weeks ago and used CND super shiney on top and it's still hanging on LOL

Hope this helped
