That’s a problem I have too! I used the beetles gel kit from Amazon! Here it is linked Beetles 20 Pcs Gel Nail Polish... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BL4ZMHG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and the base color is two thin coats of Samoan sand by OPI over a clear base and clear tips for the best color pay off! I try to do a really thin rough layer of the color design, I still make sure it’s all even and then I put down the second layer and try to keep it a little thin so the shape of the nail won’t change or get lumpy!

The colors are from this collection! Beetles 20 Pcs Gel Nail Polish... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BL4ZMHG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share … it’s those last two shades pictured!
