Application
- Prep. Clean nails, lightly buff, and remove all oil and residue. Skipping this is the most common reason gel lifts early.
- Base coat. Apply a thin, even layer and cure.
- Color. Apply 1-3 thin coats, curing between each. Thin coats cure better and last longer.
- Top coat. Seal the free edge and cure.
- 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.
