My Gelish top &amp; bottom coat are very thick. They gum up. Did I get bad set? How do I prevent this?

You're likely putting it on too thick...I had the same issue. You want a very thin coat.

You may have some buildup in there. If you heat up some water and pour it over it might help. Also you may want to contact them directly. dorcousa.com

I haven't had any troubles with the nail polish. Maybe you should use a clear top and bottom coat??? I don't know &#128542;. Sorry.

Hey man, I actually sprayed a topper for my truck, and my truck is a unique tan, so I took off the gas cap and took it to Home Depot to get a color match and small tub of paint. Not the best place to go I've heard, but it definitely worked, just make sure it is not water-based paint. Also, when spraying it will come out lighter usually, so just make sure to use enough color when you mix the hardener and color. If you don't use enough color then it will be lighter, I noticed that after I sprayed it all on, which isn't too terrible, I think if I wanted to bad enough I could just spray over it and keep the texture. So bottom line, just make sure to use enough color when you mix it, don't overdo it, but better to have more of the exact color because the chance of being too dark is impossible if it's a color match.

Try using a primer and applying a thin line..I have had awesome results with this..last all night and doesnt run even in summer weather:)

I'm not a painter just a normal everyday person so don't moan... Maybe it's because your paint or whatever your using is to thick and not thinned to the correct viscosity??

A second coat should help problem. I put on one coat in two batches. On the second batch I did not stir enough and ended up with a tacky surface in a few places. Talked to company and they said to do a second coat. Put on second coat and had a good chemical reaction. No tacky areas now. I have had the product on my bar top for three years and it looks as good as the day I put it on....i.e. GREAT!! Just be sure to stir the 2 components together completely when making a batch.

make sure you are using a base coat as well as a top coat. also try cleaning your nails with rubbing alcohol before applying any polish

I haven't had that problem. Did you get the oil based? ...and make sure you pressed long enough the first time so the black comes out thick enough? I also use an alcohol wipe on my glass before marking, and sometimes do have to press down from time to time for the black to be thicker.

I use one for base coat, then one coat polish, add another Gelous coat, then another coat of polish. Because I use Seche Vite as a topcoat, which can cause polish shrinkage when it dries, I put one more top coat of Gelous underneath that to help prevent the shrinkage. So three coats altogether. This is incredible for making your polish last!

if your nail polish isn't old try applying a thin coat 1st. I usually do 3-4 coats. if I do a think coat it always looks like they were touched before they dried. I'm not a big fan of these nails. I will use them bc I already bought them but I wont be buying any more.

It is slightly larger than a gelcap. Try washing it down with applesauce, It should help.

they sell (expensive) special nail polish which is thicker than regular nail polish. I buy regular polish, take the top off (be sure to really, really clean the brush & then put it in a ziplock baggie. Check the nail polish every day to see if it has thickened. Hot weather thickens polish faster than cold weather. Acrylic paint (the cheap stuff from WALMART) can also be used. Basically you just need to play with it. I learned how on YouTube there are tons of video tutorials to teach you how to use it. Hope this helps

I put a small amount in the bottom plate and smooth it out with my finger and keep smoothing until it sticks. Hope this works for you as I had trouble with the first tube I had.

seems to me if you cut them in anyway, the gel will leek out. maybe call company and get a better answer.

Well when i was first doing gel on myself I was using a different brand and I had to redo my nails every week to two weeks that that product I bought from the store, I guess the gelish product could be old I don't know for a fact that it's brand new but can go twice as long between doing my nails so I would just base it on that I buy colors from any brand but I'll only use gelish top and base coat

Did you wipe them with cleaner after the last top coat? If not, that's what you need to do...it will remove the stickiness.
