When I use gelish top coat over acrylic it peels, I don't buff smooth and have a good lamp.
Do you put base under first? Or are there any gel top coat that don't need bases?
 
What's a 'good' lamp?

Peeling is a sign of either insufficient adhesion or insufficient cure. If you are leaving a rough surface then it must be cure. You lamp needs to be matched to the product.

My 'good' lamp is a gelish lamp and I use gelish, and nails are well prepped roughed not buffed.

Excellent - that's the first hurdle cleared

Is it everyone it's peeling off or just one client?

All nails or just one or two?

Peeling from cuticle or free edge?

Immediately or a few days/week later?
 
It appears that base is needed under top it off.... even over acrylic, so my question has been answered!
