I am wondering if I should do a gel topcoat on my semi cured gel wraps. I have tried the heyhae and ohora brands and i love them but i tend to get lifting round the bottom/cuticle area after about a week and it catches in my hair. I am wondering if the top coat would help with this and if using a gel topcoat would make it harder for them to come off when im ready. Mine now usually i am able to get a nail under and they come off easy with no damage to my nail besides a little stickiness. Also any recommendations for gel topcoats would be great

I’ve been searching this sub, but can’t seem to find a clear consensus about this. Does anyone have experience using OPI Nail Envy (the tri-flex formula) as a basecoat under wraps that don’t need curing? I’m specifically curious to know if you have to gently file the base coat so it’s not slippery or whatever other tips you might have. Been using wraps for years, but I’m also trying to show my nails a little love bc they’re weak. I plan to specifically try it with Lovely Hello wraps this time.

Will this lamp likely be a good lamp? While it says 80 Watts, it is actually 48. According to AI that is actually better as 80 Watts would cause awful heat spikes with 80 led beads. So it's real specs are 48 Watts, 80 led beads, magnetic reflective base, cordless and rechargeable, 4 settings including a low heat setting. I am not familiar with this brand. I will mostly use it for SCG wraps and top coats over wraps.

I got it from an ebay liquidator who had open box with a 1 year maintenance plan for $22 plus shipping, and if it is not working as advertised, I am covered by ebay money back guarantee, so for that price, I bit.

Do you think this was a good buy? If it works? Amazon reviews are good but not many.

maybe a weird question lol, but I was wondering…after I remove nail wraps, if they’re all still in tact and looking nice, can I glue them back on another time and essentially use them like press-ons to get another use out of them? I ask this because I can’t have anything on my nails for work (I’m a cook), so I can only have my nails done for 3-4 days at a time 😭 I guess that’s not so bad, but it’d be nice to get a second use out of them to save some money.
