Problems with gargling? Use a top coat!

I have tried several more expensive kits which were a bit easier to work with but an expensive part. It came out very expensive. I was glad I got 20 sets for the price I paid for 1. It took some practice so I want to share what I learned. My first set started bubbling OVERNIGHT! The second day they just looked awful. I was disappointed but wanted to try again and found some troubleshooting ideas. They're difficult to tear off, so I recommend pushing back the cuticles as best you can. Line up the base so the end is flush with your finger (try not to overlap as you'll have a hard time ripping off the excess). Press firmly and go over it a few times to make sure it sticks well. Fold the excess onto the end of the nail and use an emery board to file off the excess (I found that pulling to rip off the excess only stretched what I had just pressed and looked translucent in places). Then add the top. A coat! That top coat was key! After adding the top layer I had no bubbles. I applied one coat and that was enough! I opted for 2 coats and 2 coats with the glitter kit which really boosted the sparkle and made it look pretty! Any posts that have photos of these bubbles are exactly how my first coat looked before I tried the top coat. I can guarantee they didn't use a top coat and/or pressed them tight. In the attached photo it still looks amazing after 2 uses of the top and a week after application. I swear the image doesn't capture the brilliance, but it was difficult to focus the camera with one hand.
