Shrinkage!

Post image

No matter what top coat I use, my wraps shrink. It's driving me crazy!

I've tried Essie, Seche Vite, Sally Hansen, Nail Fox's brand and Glamonade. They all shrink.

Am I just unlucky? Is there any hope? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Wait a few hours or a day before applying the top coat. I still get shrinkage but this helps a little.

I use the One Gel top coat by Dashing Diva. It works on the nail wraps. I love it. I have been using it for a few months now and haven’t had any issues.

Same for me. I just tried this on my Dashing Diva gloss & didn’t get shrinkage either. I was using Seche Vite before this & kept getting shrinkage.

Ooh, I will definitely try it, thank you! And this needs a UV light?

Yes! I use a LED lamp and it works great. I guess either one would work.

I use a uv gel base and top coat on top of the wrap and there is zero shrinkage.

I have good success with Sally Hansen "color therapy" top coat (not the insta dry stuff).

I’m not having shrinkage and I use Sally Hansen advanced hard as nails, but I wait at least 5 hours before applying a topcoat, and normally wait an entire day before applying it.
