Your steps are similar to mine....but I try to get all the product on the nails first, then cuticle oil, nice lotion and into the paraffin at the end. Or if they don't want paraffin...out the door they go.
When you say "topcoat" what are you referring to? I've been using the Gelish Top It Off or YN Finish either one...depending if I think I want to soak off the next time or buff with my efile....and it's easy to just keep going and do that step right after the color coats. Why are you separating the product application into two sections? Or.... some how I'm getting the idea you are using regular polish type top coat?

I am doing a lot of mani ures with the gel polish, and have got my time down to 30 min. My steps are: 1. Exfoliate clients hands 2. Apply cuticle remover and use natural nail bit on my e-file to do cuticle work. 3. Gently remove shine from nail 4. Apply base, 2 coats of color. 5. Apply cuticle oil, massage with lotion 6. Cleanse oil off nail and apply top coat. I am currently using mostly Eco, do have some nailite and ibd sog...I either have the client soak it off at home, or they know to come 10 min. Early to soak. I do file it off using my e-file, carefully to just remove color. Base coat protects the nail from any damage. I am lucky, as most of my clients know they must arrive on time or their service will be shortened as I am booked pretty tightly most days. They are all busy and appreciate me running on time, so they do to, barring emergencies of course.
