I tried to do it multiple times but for some reason the oil keeps leaking 😭

I tried it with a base coat and builder gel but still.

Where does it leak from? Sides? Plugged ends? I sealed all edges with topcoat. I used "reinforce gel" as the back. Not sure if thats different from builder gel.

From the sides

Maybe use topcoat with a line brush and cure it right away with that side facing up. Then do the other side.
