GEL POLISH - 184 CALM BEFORE THE STORM

Step 1: Preparation

Clean and Shape Nails: Begin by washing your hands thoroughly. Shape your nails with a file, pushing back your cuticles gently, and removing any excess skin.

Buff the Nail Surface: Lightly buff the surface of each nail to remove any shine. This helps the gel polish adhere better.

Cleanse the Nails: Use a lint-free wipe soaked in a nail cleanser or isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust, oil, or debris from the nails.

Step 2: Apply Base Coat

Apply a Thin Layer of Base Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of gel base coat to all nails, avoiding the cuticle and sidewalls.

Cure Under LED/UV Lamp: Cure the base coat under an LED lamp for 30 seconds or a UV lamp for 2 minutes. Make sure each nail is fully cured before moving on.

Remove the Sticky Layer: After curing, use a lint-free wipe soaked in nail cleanser or isopropyl alcohol to remove the sticky (dispersion) layer from the base coat.

Step 3: Apply Gel Polish Color

Apply the First Coat of Color: Apply a thin, even layer of your chosen gel polish color. Make sure the application is smooth and even.

Cure the First Coat: Cure under an LED lamp for 30 seconds or a UV lamp for 2 minutes.

Apply the Second Coat of Color: Apply a second coat for full coverage and depth of color. Ensure the application is even and smooth.

Cure the Second Coat: Cure again under the LED lamp for 30 seconds or a UV lamp for 2 minutes.

Step 4: Apply Top Coat

Apply a Thin Layer of Non-Wipe Top Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of gel top coat to seal in the color and add a high-gloss finish.

Cure the Top Coat: Cure under the LED lamp for 60 seconds or a UV lamp for 2-3 minutes. No need to remove any sticky layer, as this is a non-wipe top coat.

Step 5: Apply Cuticle Oil

Apply Cuticle Oil: Finish by applying a nourishing cuticle oil to keep your cuticles hydrated and healthy.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Long-Lasting Gel Manicure!
