How do you all put your gems on to gel polish and do they stay on?
 
I use Brisa Lite Sculpting gel and they last brilliantly! :) xx
 
Does anybody do them with gel polish?

I use this over gel polish. I dot it where I want it with a wood stick, and cure stones into it. Then top coat in and around them.

Do you mean full coverage, or the odd crystal? :) xx
 
I set them in uncured top coat, then cure. Then, I go back and apply another top coat and cure.
 
Liverpool lashes mentions in one of her recent videos a trick from holly aka fingernail fixer. Apply gem in uncured topcoat, cure then place 4 tiny dots around the gem and cure again. The tiny dots act like claws to keep the gems in place x

I use structure gel on top of the colour put Swarovski's in to it uncured, cure then top coat. My clients get weeks out of them! Xx
 
Great ideas I might try them as I want them to last but they only last a few days with gelish topcoat
 
I used to use gelish structure gel but now I find it easier using megamix, the one in a polish bottle. So i brush on megamix, put in gems, cure, then one or two topcoats over the top :)

I asked this question but got no answers. I was struggling to get them to stay with just the top it off. Iv just bought the structure gel and have applied it over the colour pressed the Swarovski's in and cured then 2 coats if top it off. Will see how they last! X

Yeah I think you gave me the idea in the first place. Mine are 3 days in and still on x

This is how I do mine and mine stay on for the duration of my Shellac. I do only use one or two at a time though so not sure how lots would last
