1. Prep. Clean nails, lightly buff, and remove all oil and residue. Skipping this is the most common reason gel lifts early.


2. Base coat. Apply a thin, even layer and cure.


3. Color. Apply 1-3 thin coats, curing between each. Thin coats cure better and last longer.


4. Top coat. Seal the free edge and cure.


5. Cuticle oil. Apply after every manicure.

Cure times are 60-90 seconds depending on your lamp model and layer thickness. The gel is fully cured when the surface is no longer tacky after wiping.

1. Break the seal. Lightly file the top layer to remove the shine so acetone can penetrate.


2. Soak. Saturate a cotton pad with acetone, press onto the nail, and wrap each finger in foil.


3. Wait. Leave wrapped for 10-15 minutes. Don't rush this step.


4. Lift. Gently push the softened gel off with a cuticle stick. It should come off with light pressure.


5. Re-soak if needed. If the gel resists, wrap and soak again rather than scraping.


6. Moisturize. Apply cuticle oil and hand cream immediately. Acetone dries skin and nails.

Never peel or pick gel polish off. It takes layers of the natural nail with it.
