Valentino is my favorite I bought the big bottle awhile back & it’s a thinner but I do prefer a thicker top or base any gel I prefer thicker formula.. and I’m from the school of buffing the nails super smooth and I can’t not .. I have to.. young nails has the best I mean outstanding customer service they go above and beyond to make it right.. they even throw in freebies like a chrome kit & files & 2-3 extra acrylic powders.. there just exceptional

[@thenailauthority]

I feel you. I get sucked in to YN sales every month. Because, who doesn't NEED nail supplies! Thank you for watching!

[@ericapowell6754]

Just finding this video and your channel!!! Hit subscribe. Your #3 was my first no wipe top coat and I LOVED it! But for some reason, it would crack. But, that may have been me not knowing what to use it on. (Ex: maybe only over acrylic or not over thick gel.)

[@thenailauthority]

Yeah, they don't tell you it can only be applied over hard gel or acrylic. It cracks over gel polish unless the gel polish is a hard gel polish-like from Medusa Nails.

[@TereseLeigh]

Hey!! Ok. Thanks for addressing the YN Stain Resistant top coat. So it would work over Medusa’s gels since it’s a hard gel?? 🤔

[@thenailauthority]

Yes. It has worked for me. It does not work over a natural nail manicure. I'm still looking for a top coat that works for hair dressers who want gel polish on their natural nails and for it to be stain resistant.

[@TereseLeigh]

@@thenailauthority Gotcha. Ok. I figured you’d know since you use Medusa. Thanks for replying Sis.

[@Airplanemode347]

Can you use a gel top coat on regular polish. After you let your polish dry for 24 hours?

[@thenailauthority]

You can. I've used it on regular polish after it's been dry for 30 mins. I make sure to cap the sides and tips of the nail so there is less likelihood of it peeling off. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching!!

[@TiaVaylik]

What your thoughts on Gotti Pro No Wipe Gel Top Coat Super Shiny High Gloss & VENALISA No Wipe Tempered Top Coat - Scratch Resistant High Gloss??

[@thenailauthority]

I haven't tried those. I'll have to do a little research. I do know techs that use these so I'll ask. If I can get them, I can test them

[@TiaVaylik]

thank you very much for answering me. I'm very curious about these brands and I don't see any videos about their brands @@thenailauthority

[@peachesjohnson91]

I've been using Beetles and I love it, but I do want options, any suggestions?

[@thenailauthority]

What is your budget? Also what type of polish are you putting it over? Are you doing acrylic designs? I have over 30 top coats in my collection from trying things. I know what works, but need a little more info to get you the best one❤️

[@lashelladams660]

Can you tell me what top coat you had on your nails in that video?

[@thenailauthority]

Left was Poochiez. Right was iGel. Thank you so much for watching!!

[@lashelladams660]

@@thenailauthority thanks for your reply

[@tyeicha]

are any of these good to use on natural nail manicures? without peeling, cracking?

[@thenailauthority]

Are you using regular polish or gel polish? Also do you have a base like a hard/soft gel under the polish? Let me know and ai can help

[@weekendnomad5038]

Does the YN yellow over white gel polish after a few days? I’ve tried so many topcoat and they all yellow over white in a few days. I’m getting so discouraged. I will love my nails and they look ruined in a few days

[@thenailauthority]

It can of you use it over gel polish. Over white acrylic, No. It's not in here, but the only top coat that doesn't yellow white for me, has been Medusa Nails Top Coat Z. It's a hard gel in a bottle. Stays shiny but you have to file it off

[@sanchezwifey6036]

Are any that you reviewed 7,9,12 free? I didn't hear any info on that subject. I have severe nail allergies after wearing my beauties for over 20 years and currently use Bio Seaweed Gel but the tops gets dull after about a week so Im shopping for a new one and so far have found that Madam Glam is the "cleanest" but you are definitly going to $$$ for it at 22.00 per bottle yikes so just trying to explore my options and landed on your page.

[@thenailauthority]

Hey SanchezWifey!! I'm actually finishing up my nail instructor licensing in the next 2 days. I have a video forthcoming. Nail allergies are huge right now. I've seen a bit of it in my nail salon. The top coats I can recommend without question that I know to be HEMA free are from Light Elegance and Tammy Taylor. Glitterbels has one. But I haven't tried it. I know the others are professional based. Try Skyline beauty supply for the LE one. It will cure with a sticky layer. Make sure to wipe it off with alcohol.
