What do I do if top coat isn't drying

Hi Andrew, I had the same problem. I live in Louisiana, the land of high humidity. I ran a fan in the room and it really took about a week to actually dry. I have done 2 bathrooms and my kitchen. This was the first bathroom I did. Never happened again. My advice is just be patient and give it time.

Are you wiping them off with an alcohol wipe after drying? This removes all the sticky residue. Many people forget this last step and mistakingly think they're nails remain wet. Do this at the very end after applying all your coats and their UV drying. Best!

Try shaking it up it might have separated but that would mean its old I don't recall mine being watery so I would return it if its old the sunscreen will be no good anyways.

I use it as a bottom coat then I wait to let it dry then put on my color. Then I apply it again as a top coat once the color coat dries.

I waited a couple of hours between coats. I did very thin coats. I found this paint dried in a similar fashion to others. It wasn't significantly longer For drying time in my experience

Just turn it inside out and clean it with soap and water. Hang it up to dry.

it may be all rite depending on the heat type ? is it flame heat or element heat! also what are you using for a top coat like a clear coat?

Wow...I've not had that happen before with this product. Assuming the surface was properly prepped before application, applied in thin coats, and kept dry for 72 hours after that, the only thing I can imagine would cause that is high humidity. If you have a dehumidifier handy, I'd suggest using that in the bathroom for 24 hours. If not, all I can say is that the product should eventually dry. With my limited knowledge of this particular situation, that is the best I can offer. I just hope it's helpful in some way.

A damp rag or green pad. Whatever you do, font let it run under or soak in water. Also wait for it to completely cool.

not only must you have the base coat and the top coat but you also must have the uv light to dry it. I tried to dry without the light, will never dry. basic steps: use alcohol/soap to clean oils off of nails, apply base coat, apply color, uv light for 1.5 minutes, apply top coat, uv light for 1.5 minutes, then use alcohol to swab the nails or else it will look matte colored and be a bit gooey, done.

Funny you ask. I ran out of gelish base and top coat. And use a different brand I had. Turned out just as good. Just be sure to use gel products and clean nail bed well. Hope this helps.

Try cooking oil or mineral oil. That usually makes that type of sticky material give up it's hold.

Try opening the flap further and holding it more open with something. Might consider taking a trick and prop it so it hold out the cover away from the furniture. Could use you hair blow dryer to dry the inside out and then put it back on dry. It will take care of the moisture, but is not a permanent fix. I live were the humidity is low so it isn't an issue for me.

You can finish the top with Arm R Seal SATIN finish. Use at least 5 coats for a good protective surface. Sand between coats with 400 grit and finish sand after last coat dries with 600 grit. Works great!

Are you using the primer? It's very important. Also super thin coats help. You may have to put more on but the primer and thin coats help.

Following the directions helped. Use vinegar and water..soak it then let it air dry.
