Less Shrinkage/Tip Wear

I'm just going to leave this here for anyone who might want to try it. For years I have struggled to find top coats that don't lead to shrinkage/tip wear on the non-gel nail wraps like Lily & Fox, Nail Fox, and even some Color Street. Many people seem to have top coats that work for them, and I've tried them ALL but still had issues with shrinkage and tip wear within a day or two of putting the wrap on (Seche Vite, a lot of people's go-to, was the WORST for me). Then on a whim I tried two different top coats and am having much better results. I do Orly "Won't Chip" first (right after application - no waiting until the next day when shrinkage has already occured - I know this isn't true for some, but it was for me). Then when Won't Chip is mostly dry, I use OPI plumping top coat (I think any reputable brand plumping topcoat would probably work). Wraps are looking and lasting much better! May not be the case for everyone, but it worked for me.
