Your results were way better than my first time using this gel. Mine was frizzy + flakes. It took me way long to figure out how to use it but I was determined because I paid too damn much for 8.5oz of failure. Lol. I've come to the conclusion this gel loves LOTS of water and works best as a base gel, for me! Still isn't my fave but I hate wasting my coins so I'm using it up no matter what.
Do you think the UFD may have altered your results? I haven't seen many use it in the way you used it. Most I've seen used it with it's own product line. I feel like UFD softens up topper gels. Maybe try it alone.
Yes I def think the UFD altered the results. I’ve seen a lot of people use the Ouidad as a topper gel but I didn’t choose the best combo lol I’m gonna try it again on its own!
