this is not your nail salon but it does work [SEP] it took longer to dry then it probably should but what i found out is that yes it is sticky between coats and that made me very nervous all i could think was how am i going to get this sticky gunky stuff off of my nails but i just kept pushing forward and putting on the next step and low and behold the top coat seem to do the trick i put it on and then dried them for seconds and it was done i did it one more time just to be sure because i found it hard to believe that all the coats of sticky gunky suddenly went away and it worked now i just wish i had a steady hand because i am guessing getting the little bits of gel polish off my skin could be a party that is my own fault
