Hi Guys
I have been searching the threads to find an answer to this. I use L&P and the whole world of gel and gel polishes is new to me. I recently trained in Entity and in my kit I got a UV topcoat.
Anyhowwwww, I have been trying out nail wraps. So far I have tried Kooky and also Millenium. The Kooky ones I have applied on fingernails and they lasted about 4 days before looking shabby. I followed the correct prep, (prepped the same as if i was going to apply a set of acrylics). After I did the set, I also applied a layer of air dry top coat.
Now I know I should have got longer out of them. What I am interested from finding out from you geeks is - do you use a top coat and if so do you use a normal top coat, a UV top coat or a gel top coat? Do you think if I applied the UV topcoat I got in my kit that this would give the wraps more longevity? Do I need to buy a special gel topcoat? like the ones you use on the gel polish systems?
I know they dont last as long on fingers as they do toes but I was hoping that they would have lasted longer than they did. The ones pictured are the Kooky ones.
I will attach a photo.
Thanks in advance.
