I do my own nail and I have been doing this technique for years. She’s speaking the truth BUT I don’t think its being emphasized just how dry the nail polish has to be. Not just touch dry but rock solid. I wait 1-2 hours before putting gel topcoat on. I have been misled so many times if i try to rush it. I can’t imagine this being a practical technique for a nail salon.

I've been doing this for a while. I always let my regular polish dry for a day before I put on the gel top coat, just to make sure all of the chemicals in the polish evaporated

I just started doing this because sally hansen’s “the queen’s velvet” is one of my favorite polishes (glitter fuchsia 😩)
one tip for doing this at home is to use a quick dry top coat so you can go about your business while the polish fully dries. then you can gel top coat it later for the longer wear (I usually just wait until the next day because I’m paranoid about wrinkling lol)

I have learned to use the base coat under the nail polish to avoid the nail polish from discolor your nails.

I used to skip top and base coat in high school because I didn't really care about the manicure longevity plus all the Sally Hansen I bought on sale was probably the xtreme wear line which lived to it's namesake. But now that I'm older and in a job where particle contamination is an issue, I use both to keep my indie nail polish on my nails

The only way I was able to get this to work is by also using a nail polish top coat first, otherwise the polish is tender for hours. I had it wrinkle when I put the gel top coat on the next day. It seemed perfectly fine at first until I had a hot shower and it wrinkled. Maybe it was the polish I was using years ago, but nail polish without the polish topper takes a crazy amount of time to dry. As long as I had that polish topper, wrinkling was impossible. :) I would still give it a few hours first, but you can still use your hands after about 15-20 minutes.

I don’t use gel anymore but when i did i would do my nails as normal with regular top coat and everything and then the next day put on the gel tc so i can be sure everything is dry and cured first

Oh my goodness a game changer! Thanks for sharing this tip 🩷

I absolutley love Holo Taco. When I had a set of nails I used gel. I have only natural nails for the past 20 years do to my job and I only use regular polish now. Holo Taco is definilty fast dryng. That is one of the main reason I love it so much.

I adore how supportive you are Susie 💖
And you always show Holo Taco love when you can 🇨🇦

Back when I could afford to have regular manicure appointments, I would have a complete process of hard gel (IBD) in clear so that I could use whatever nail polish I wanted on top. The hard gel had no sticky layer, and often the regular nail polish would last until my next infill (like, a month or more)! I never thought to put a gel topper over the regular polish: The regular polish topcoat would always suffice. My Technician was a dream to work with because she understood that I only needed a thin layer of gel for strength. She never pushed acrylic or tips or a French manicure on me. She was happy to do “less” on me because I was a regular customer. That was 15 years ago 😢 I’m almost certain that lovely lady has retired. Now most nail salons I look into only have pink, not clear gels available – and rarely can I find a Technician who’s educated enough to know the difference between “hard” and “soft” gel.
**SIGH**

Been doing the "Gelly Sandwich" technique for a few years now and personally I love it! Have always had trouble getting long wear for my polish with just regular top coat. And since I do nail art all the time I really want that time put in to last me!

I do have to use a gel base coat tho, no matter how much prep I do to the base nail to strip the top layer of oils for polish, gel has a *much* better grip on my natural nail to stop my polish from popping off in a sheet like it often does with a regular base coat!

I usually do a regular quick dry top coat on my polish and hold off on the gel top coat for a few hours, or more likely the next morning, to just be 100% sure every layer of the polish under it is dry

An older video of yours came on after this one and it was an unboxing, I miss those days of you throwing empty boxes and such over your shoulder 😂…. I’ve been impatient many times over polish and then it wrinkled after gel top coat 😢

[bonnieperry]

Thank you so much, Suzie, for this tip, I didn't know what was causing my gel topcoat to wrinkle until now. I just thought it was something that just wasn't going to work together. You're the best. ❤

[Vegan_Vlogs]

Great information, as always. Thank you, Suzie (and camera man)! 💚

[damonsalvatore]

Hi! I am not a professional and I often do this on my own nails, but I always have a harder time taking it off than I anticipated thinking "oh is just regular polish" so, could you show us tricks to take it off without soaking? Thank you!

[PelDenise]

I use the same technique when doing nail stamping. Stamping polish dries extremely quickly, so you have the ability to do gel enhancements, or apply a gel color, stamp with regular polish, and then top with a gel top coat to preserve the design you've created. The key, as you stated, is to allow the stamping layer (regular polish) the time to dry. Thanks for sharing your expertise, tips and tricks. 💅💖💖💖

[lovemore]

Thanks cause this has happened to me too many times ❤

[traceywright]

Wow!! Thanks for that I've learnt something new today. Been using gel polish for years but I've still got nail polishes I can't bring myself to get rid of. Will definitely give this a try xx

[TheSnuffy]

I often apply regular nail polish overtop of a non-stick topcoat. It lasts about as long as on natural nails, so you can do it this way too but it wont give you 4 weeks of wear. But that was actually the point for me. Sometimes i want the strength of gel but the quick change of regular nail polish so I can easily change the color like every week.
