If you wipe off the tacky layer to file and buff, yes, a top coat is needed. But if you wipe off the tacky layer and don’t buff, then it should be glossy and smooth.
Yes, always file and shape to your desired shape. You can do filing and shaping after the builder gel as well, but it’s easier if you have most of the shaping done before the builder gel.
I like that you didn’t have to file the nail afterwards
Thank you for this!
Yasss! This is perfect. 🙌
Thanks so much. What kind of top coat do u use on top of the builder gel?
Gel top coat :)
Wow, thank you for this
Do you top coat at end or no? Thanks
