PSA: That new 'quick set' clear coat from the supply house cracked on a client's nails in under 24 hours.

It happened last Tuesday on a full set, and I had to redo the whole thing for free. Anyone know a reliable brand that actually holds up?

Ugh, what a nightmare.

Tell me about it, my life is basically a series of small nightmares strung together. I'm pretty sure I cause half of them myself. It's a real talent.

Ugh, that's the worst feeling when you've already done the work and then it just lets you down. @andrew_walker39 is right, that kind of situation is a total nightmare, especially when you have to redo everything for free. I've been burned by a few quick-dry top coats myself, it's like they trade durability for speed. The ones that last for me are the gel-effect ones that take a little longer to set, but your mileage may vary.
