I purchased two jelly polishes - blood red and electric blue - from The Gel Bottle at a local supplier because the store owner recommended them for the glass nails trend I had been dying to try.

They apply fantastic and give the exact look I wanted, however, no matter how long I cure them they always end up coloring my top coat as well. I make sure to use an external brush and silicone pad so I don't accidentally color the entire bottle of top coat, but I feel like this definitely shouldn't be happening?

I'm applying thin coats, and typically only two. I use the Apres Beta lamp, do 3+ standard cure cycles to ensure proper curing, and am not new to doing my own gel nails (2+ years) nor gel nails in general (18+ years)

Does anyone know if this is standard with jelly polishes, or something that I should be concerned by? The color itself is sealed in with the top coat as none come off when I do my final wipe down.

Normally I'd like to think I'm fairly good at figuring stuff like this out, but I'm a little confused and a touch uncertain so thought I'd get input from the community here.

I sell dog accessories - bandanas, bow ties, etc. - and would like to open my shop up internationally as right now it's set domestically, to just Canada. With all the changes to CUSMA and de minimis in the last year I want to make sure I'm using the right code before doing so. All my products are hand crafted by me with cotton fabric purchased within Canada. Is my assumption correct in that the best HS code to use would likely be 6214.90.00 and as such, would be exempt from tariffs and duties?
