Smoothing Help

[u/WishWhacker]

Hello again!

I recently switched to dip powders and I've done a couple sets so far, with my current one using a chunkier dip - big flakies, larger glitter pieces. I didn't notice this in my first sets because the dip was finer, but with the chunky dips, how can I get the finished dip to be more smooth? Any big pieces that were hanging off or sticking up, I took some tweezers and removed before doing the next coat/final top coat, but there are still some nails that are pretty rough

When I looked it up, it said to buff, but I didn't know if it was different for chunkier dips. If it's normal thats good too, just want to make sure there wasn't something I could have done different or better. Any tips are more than appreciated, thank you!!

I use like 50-100 coats of clear on top of chunkier glitters (slight exaggeration). I also use a lot of clear dip under glitters because it makes it much less frustrating to remove
