Can I Put Gel Polish Go Over Nail Strips??

As a professional nail artist and beauty expert, I often receive questions about the compatibility of different nail products and techniques. One common query is whether it's possible to apply gel polish over nail strips. In this blog post, we'll delve into the answer and explore how Daring Lily's innovative press-on nails can provide a seamless solution.

Direct Answer to the Question

The short answer is no, you should not apply gel polish directly over nail strips. Gel polish requires a specific nail preparation process, including dehydrating and priming the nail surface, to ensure proper adhesion and long-lasting wear. Nail strips, on the other hand, are designed to be applied directly to the natural nail without the need for extensive preparation.

Applying gel polish over nail strips would likely result in the gel polish peeling or lifting prematurely. The incompatibility between the nail strip adhesive and the gel polish formula can create an unstable foundation, leading to a subpar manicure that doesn't last as long as you'd expect.
