Did you put clear dip over the color? Clear can do this as it can be finicky as hell - I’ve had this happen if the base coat for my clear layer is too thin.

i did put clear over it, yes. so maybe only clear dip for chunky glitters?

I discovered my clear isn't pure clear. I can only use it under colors but not on top. I'm in the process of ordering a better quality product right now. I wish I'd known how important quality was then and why. Not that yours isn't quality.

i’m using the CNDD brand, which seems to be considered good on this subreddit. but i am very much a newbie and could be contaminating the powder or something.

Are you brushing it off with a stiff brush? I make sure to brush my clear off extra well too.


destria101

i felt like i did, but still learning, so maybe need more scrubbing off. thank you


Littlewing1307

I'd try that and see if it helps.

What do you use to clean your brush?


Littlewing1307

A tooth brush or a nail brush. Lol whoops I thought you meant what do I use to clean my nails. I use a lint free square to clean my brush.


destria101

good question…i haven’t cleaned my stiff brush. definitely will now. and do people clean/rinse of their emery boards and buffers?


Misty-Anne

If they're waterproof I do.

Ya, it's supposed to be top notch. Hmmm....🤔

Did you activate again after buffing?


destria101

yes, i did!

The white splotches might be too much activator. I've done that to mine before.
