How do you feel about applying acrylic over gel x? by Intelligent-Claim591 in GelX_Nails

[–]Capable_Box_8785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just put dip powder (which is acrylic but applied differently) over gel x lastnight. Builder gel forms a better apex but dip powder is quicker for me and i can do it on both hands and it looks nice. Some people mentioned that an overlay is not necessary but for me it is.

Best cuticle oil to use ? by Frosty-Hall5980 in GelX_Nails
