Metal 3D bows & Gelish - how to attach?

[PerfectPolish]

Hi geeks,
I have a client who wants these 3D bows applying onto her Gelish. They are quite chunky & I'm just not sure about the best way to get them to stay put. Can I just set them in TIO? Or Structure Gel? I don't do any acrylic & I didn't think glue would be a good idea as they'll be on her natural nails. Thanks in advance for any help

i find l+p is the very best way of attaching bows like these

Glue doesn't work as I have found out! The only way I have found to stick them is using l & p! Not sure of any other options! Hopefully someone on here can point you in the right direction. X

Could you not apply your base and colour coats. Then apply the bow /s with nail glue and then topcoat around the bow to help set in place?

I use gellux so I'm not sure how similar the systems are, but I did base coat cure then colour/clear and cure and then topcoat before curing I push the bow into it cured for 2 minutes and the bows been there for a week, still rock steady.

Not sure if that's any help.

Please excuse rubbish pic

If you only use Gelish I would probably apply TIO to the nail, apply glue onto the bottom of the bow, set the bow into the TIO and cure.

L&P was my first thought but I don't have any unfortunately. I think I'll try applying & curing the foundation & colour coats then set it into the TIO before curing. I use ECO Universal top coat for doing Swarovski manis/pedis too so might drizzle some of that around the bow as an extra layer. They only need to last the night for her birthday party so fingers crossed!

Thanks again xx

I have those i also have them in gold you use either a dab of gel to attach the bow to a gel nail or acrylic on acrylic nails:irked:
