I think I figured it out

Me again from these posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditLaqueristas/s/dCOXjq3IXn and https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditLaqueristas/s/9P8VnTJMNQ

So I think I figured out why the tips of my nails were dispersing when I applied topcoat with my glass bead magnet! Firstly, someone commented on the first or second video, I can’t remember, about floating the topcoat on. I’ve been floating for years, but I think I still had the seche vite mindset, if that makes sense. I would use a nice big GLOB of seche vite when topping my nails, and that’s what I was doing with my insta-dri. So this time around I picked up just enough tc instead of a glob 😂 I also magnetized each coat for about a minute and a half, the tc for about two minutes.

Now, this is a mooncat polish and I haven’t tried doing this with my ilnp magnetics, so maybe there’ll be another post from me lol

I’m wearing 3 coats of Mooncat’s Beware The Kraken (unfortunately I don’t think MC sells this shade anymore) and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri (red bottle), as well as 5D glass bead magnet
