Entity dip and buff top coat

[Lacey Richard]

Help!!
I can't seem to get my entity dip and buff top coat to shine? I've tried back to back thin applications. I've tried waiting. I've tried thicker applications. Nothing is working. I have resorted to a gel top coat but that peels off in a few days. Am I doing something wrong???

Are you wiping the activate coat thoroughly as this can cause issues with the top coat?

Should it be a dry wipe or with a little alcohol? I never that of that step to be the issue if I'm honest.

What is the process that you are following if you don't mind me asking?

Just a various stages problems can occur which will affect the top coat, I've had issues before where i have not wiped the activate enough (dry wiped) and there has been some left when applying the top coat and it has effected the shine, actually turning it really dull

Yes it is almost completely dull with maybe the sides a wee bit Shiney. I apply my step 1 then 2 then dip then 2 then dip then 3 then 2. Let dry and shape. 3 again wipe and then step 4. I have purchased a different top coat know hopes it will work. Fingers crossed. I will try dry wiping really well.
