Top Coat for airbrushed nails

[JohnD]

Hi

can someone give me advice as to what is the best top coat for airbrushed nails? I've just had a browse around on the internet and found this Quick-drying Topcoat comparisons | Just Nice Things but i'm not sure how good these results would be on airbrushed water based acrylic paints.

Thanks for any help

I have been searching for ages for a quick drying topcoat for my airbrushing. Most of the quick drying ones will crack the paint.

I have recently discovered Lumos and it is fabulous. I was sceptical that as a quick dry it would crack my designs but it doesnt.

I use the bottom coat, then airbrush and then two coats of the top coat.

I have always used CND Air Dry for airbrushing which seems to cause the least 'streaking' on fine airbrush paint but have to say Lumos is so much faster drying I'm will convert to that once my Air Dry is used up.

Thanks for the responses. Can i ask where you get the Lumos top coat from?

I buy my Lumos from Welcome - Sweet Squared - if you are not based in the UK then there are other suppliers.

Thanks Fiona. I'm in Italy but it's easier to deal with UK companies
