Top Coat seals the dip powder layers, adds shine, and provides a protective barrier to improve wear and durability. How long does dip top coat take to dry?
Top Coat usually dries within 2 minutes, but full hardness may take slightly longer depending on room temperature. Why does my Top Coat look dull?
A dull finish is usually caused by Activator not being fully dry, or dust remaining on the nail. Ensure nails are clean, dry, and fully activated before applying Top Coat. Do I need two coats of Top Coat?
Yes. Two coats are recommended for a stronger seal, longer wear, and a high-gloss finish. Important Brush Care Notice (Very Important ⚠️)
Several liquids in the dip system — Base Coat (#2), Activator (#3), and Top Coat (#4) — are cyanoacrylate-based and will begin to cure when exposed to air.
⚠️ Do not leave brushes out of the bottle for extended periods, as this can:
Cause brushes to harden or stiffen
Lead to contamination inside the bottle
Affect product performance and consistency
Best practice:
Return the brush to the bottle immediately after each nail
Wipe the brush neck before closing the lid
Keep bottles tightly closed between applications
If a brush begins to harden, use TCG #5 Brush Saver immediately to restore flexibility
Correct brush care is essential to maintaining product quality and preventing unnecessary waste. My brush or lid has dried stuck—what should I do?
