gel nails question - urgent! (I may be about to do something stupid)

[MuttonCadet]

Hi all,

I love gelish nails and have a home kit (sensationail), but I don't have a huge number of colours. Could I put on a bottom coat, cure, add a normal varnish, allow to dry, add a top coat and cure?

Starting with a base coat in the next few minutes, so every second counts

[Amazemedontbeacunt]

Yes you can do that

[Carlywurly]

That sounds like the kind of thing I'd do. There must be a reason you shouldn't but no idea what. Watching with interest.

[MeganChips]

Yes you can. It always takes me longer to remove when I do that though.

[FellOutOfBedTwice]

Yes, I do it all the time. Doesn't last quite as long but longer than normal varnish.

[StatisticallyChallenged]

Yes, just doesn't last as long but works fine.

[MuttonCadet]

Thank you very much, just starting off

[CurlsLDN]

Yes, as pp said it doesn't last quite as long but is fine.
I had a 'gel' manicure at a nails Inc bar and that's what they did!

Mutton - did you know you can mix SensatioNail polishes together to get different shades?
I do that all the time to get new colours - just putdrops on foil and mix, then you can still get the instant dry
