I've posted this before and nobody answered, it's tricky but now my client had this happen and is coming back tomorrow how can I tackle it?
Here goes: I've done acrylic extension, I painted on a white tip with ex flow trugel 100% gel. I would normally then use ezflow trugel top coat but I was scared it would peel as it has done before when painted straight onto acrylic, it only stays put when painted over a trugel colour then top coat (over acrylic as said) hope I haven't lost you already? Well anyway today I used glaze and go hard gel nsi top coat. Within an hour it had come off one nail, the white tip she said. I suspected this would happen as you cannot do hard gel over a soft gel! Fact! But I was told I could if only a tiny part was soft gel and the rest of the enhancement acrylic or hard gel. Well I can't. So, what top coat can I use over an acrylic base that doesn't peel but can also go over gel and doesn't crack. This is something that's bugged me for ages , I do gel nail art over acrylic or gel tip over acrylic often.
Do you think if I applied the trugel base then top that would be right?
