Yes a regular topcoat will as well but this is definitely much more fluid and creates greater spread of the colors. But pretty much any clear gel polish when it’s uncured can help create some pretty awesome affects
Thank God for this bc i did my left hand last night and for the life of me i thought i wasnt doing it right, 😂 but i was, i just was doing TOO much and thinking too much about it, so the color i was using would just blend into the blooming gel and just look dumb to me like it didnt turn out right. So i stopped and will do the tye dye effect on my other hand tonight after work bc now 1 hand is done and my other 1 isnt haha
Do you cure your base/clear coat prior? How long? You said you polished the nail white, can you use this over polish and gel? How long do you cure the finish uv top coat?
You may have found your answer to this question by now.. Lol.. But your base coat you do cure,I cure it for about 60 sec to 1 min, DO NOT cure your blooming gel coat though. It needs to be wet in order to create the design/effect you looking for. 😊
No wonder I didn’t see anything happening with my nails but a mess-I put the clear blooming gel on top of the polish! Lol…there were no instructions or anything 😩 and I had to type in the word clear to find this video bc the others were for the blooming gel POLISH!🙆🏻♀️
Yes I’ve definitely noticed some of these gel art supplies do not necessarily come with instructions on how to use but I do hope this video was helpful!
Jodie Carelse If the consistency of the paint is liquid enough you should definitely be able to accomplish the same look. Even if it’s a little bit thicker than gel polish as long as it’s fluid might actually even be easier to control because it will likely spread slower 🤔 I totally have acrylic paints so I’m going to check it out and get back to you on my findings 😉
If the gel polish itself is really thick consistency it’ll be very difficult for it to spread. Haven’t use that brand of gel so I am not familiar with it but really pigmented thick polishes do not spread easy
No 3 diff things. The blooming gel is just used for the layer that you are mixing the color and doing the design I still apply a topcoat once I am done doing my design.
I’ve always use my gel topcoat too because Gelish topcoat is not a very thick formula. (although this one is definitely much more fluid than my topcoat) This is definitely a great solution for anyone who uses top coats that are no wipe top coats or topcoat that just happen to have a thicker consistency because all the brands are definitely different. 💅🏼
Definitely look through my videos I’ve done many on my manicure process, the steps of gel polish, how to polish your own nails. They’re in there somewhere! I’m currently doing a DIY gel manicure series, so I’ll be touching on the actual steps of using the product very soon. Stay tuned!
