How To: Gel Over Polish – No Wrinkles!

Thank you so much for making this!! I struggled with this when using specialty nail powders like chrome or linear holo powder pigments, which work best buffed into a cured gel top coat, but I always used regular polish colours as the base. This definitely makes more sense now! Suzie to the nail rescue!

God, her nails r so pretttyyyy i cant get over em

Suzie, I have seen that you can mix gel and regular polish at a 50% ratio and it will work. Any insite to this?

Is there a way that when i put on a gel effect top coat that when it dries it doesnt form alot of air bubbles?

How do you fix it if it does wrinkle?

I tried a gel over normal polish worked to perfection… But… They were on just 24 h and then they peeled off like bananas. What could be the problem??

Can i ask how long do gel over polish nails hold.

AHHHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Suzie I need your help, why my nails cracking after doing Gel nails or Acryl nail? Can you do a video? Maybe I am a hard worker, maybe I missed to do C curve? Maybe I didn't nuke properly? Please help!

Suzie, Do you know if a uv gel glue can be used on regular polish to secure flat back gems? Or do you think I would have to do a full uv gel topcoat?
Thanks!

sweet!! so could you hack this with se veche top coat which causes the nail to dry super fast, then go over with a gel topcoat? i'ma prob try and see :3

I’m so happy I found this video! After curing the nails with the gel top coat, you still wipe it off?

That is so true, I tried it and get the same result. Didn't know what to do next, but thanks for showing that.

Why would you put top coat on wet polish though?

Sorry, there are so many comments and IDK if it's been asked before, but do you use gel base coat somewhere in this mix? Thanks! I'd love to try this with my Zoya polishes that have taken over my collection. 🙂

So what is a good way to keep the wrinkling from happening when all you have on is gell polish? I was using gel polish and one of my fingers just kept wrinkling like that. I cleaned it off and did it again 3 or 4 times and it still did it. How can I fix that for next time?

what brands work best for the polish?

Can you mix the polish and the gel top coat on a piece of wax paper -apply it -nuke it?

When working on dipping clear , i have alot of bubbles on the nails,,i have try everything but each time putting on clear powder on a clear nail bed it leaves white bubble, can you show me how you do the clear powder on a nails.
Thanks

Thank you for sharing. I don't use color anymore but like clean, stronger nails. Why are women wearing an unnatural sharp claw look? It looks animalistic & scary. Square or round is much prettier & more attractive.

How do you remove them? Do you still have to soak? How long do they last?

I tend to do nail designs using a variety of mediums (gel polish, regular nail polishes, acrylic paints etc), and found that all mediums can be used in the same nail design, on the same nail, and work fabulously. Every single medium must be dried/cured before the next goes down to prevent smearing. Once the nail is completely dry, it can be gel topcoated and look fantastic until the design is changed 🙂

I tried this and it peeled the next day lol danggit

Can you please show us how to add a gel top coat on dip powder? Ive been trying to do it on my clients and it peels off in a matter of seconds. I do skip the activator part at the end and use alcohol to wipe off any residue but does not seem to help. HELP!!

Amazing video Suzie thank you for this so helpful! How long would you nuke it in a UV lamp? Would it be 2 minutes as normal?

What about when it just doesn’t seem to cure with the gel polish on top of regular polish? It was totally dry but then the gel didn’t cure and just rubbed off!

Is it just me or does something about her satisfy me?

I thought you were going to mix some clear gel into the normal polish,would that not be better than waiting on the polish to dry?

妳都能弄那麼乾淨那麼有質感 羨慕❤️

Does anyone know how long this lasts?

Or you could mix regular polish with a gel topcoat and cure it..

Hi I was wondering how much it would last ?

I wonder if this could be used to make a cool, wiggly design? :O

I put reagular nail polish over gel polish (the gel polish was dry like over a day 🙂 ) but will my nail polish will crake or peel ?

I pretty much wait 24 hours after using nail polish before using a gel top coat. It usually works. Some brands of nail polish just dry soft though no matter what you do, hence making the gel not work. Certain OPI colors just don't work with this for some reason. Creams especially. Have to wait well over 24 hours. Metalics or glitter ones, I'm usually good after 15 minutes.

you inspire me to do my nail business! i love your tutorials you are very fun to watch and professional i love your videos! you are so informative and you do things step by step and its easy to follow ..absolutely love your channel, you inspired me to put up my own channel! i hope to be as satisfying to watch as you ! i also always love your nails !

Hello Suzie, I am amazed by your videos and I have a question to ask. I am new at using gels and all the techniques which require a UV/LED lamp, so I am wondering if I can do the nail art with regular polishes, let it completely dry and then apply the shiny gel top coat? Will I have the same result as you showed in the video?

Thank you ! I have enough nail Polish to manicure a small country and I don't want to waste it. This is brilliant !! <3

I have a question!
If you have acrylics with gel polish, can you soak your fingers in acetone to only remove the polish or will it pop the nail off too?
Is there a way to remove the gel polish in a safe way to make the acrylics last?

Does the polish last longer with the gel top coat?

Suzie I really want to buy your kit but its all sold out and I need to know the price of it and the next time it will be up on your website thanks!

I've done this successfully. I've even gone as far as waiting overnight before putting on the gel topcoat just to make sure it's entirely dry.
