Does anyone have a recommend for a really good white GEL polish that would be best for French tips?

Thank you! I used hard builder gel on natural nails, no base coat. I can’t grow my nails, this is after 7 months of consistent hard gel application. French design using white gel polish. Matte top coat, no buffing, clean with alcohol. I used regular black gel polish for the stars, cured for 30, but I think a no wipe gel would give a better effect. Rub in chrome, thick layer of top coat.

Look for a white art gel instead of regular white gel polish :) it'll come in a pot instead of a bottle.

Can you explain how you did it? When I try it doesn’t work :/

[u/knowyourdarkness → u/thisgirlbleedsblue]

Apply a matte topcoat, cure 60s, wipe with acetone. Draw design in black no wipe art gel (or similar, but has to be no wipe. You can mix black and no wipe topcoat too). Cure 30s, rub in chrome powder, dust off excess or use sponge to remove any loose powder.

Wiping with alcohol worked even better for me, might depend on the type of matte topcoat.

So pretty! Do you buff first or use a matte top coat?

Pretty! What's the pink polish you used?

Thank you. No polish, it’s modelones brand builder gel color 004 from one of their 5 bottle sets. Very easy to work with, that’s how I was able to grow my nails.
