How do I apply gel polish?Updated 2 months ago

To get the ultimate look for your “at-home” gel nails follow the steps:

  • First, you have to prep your nails by cleaning them up. Then, file, shape your nails, and push back your cuticles. Once you’re done, remove the dust and any other excess using a paper towel and alcohol.
  • Your next step is going to be applying one layer of soak-off base gel and curing it under the LED lamp for 30 seconds, or UV Lamp for 2 minutes.
  • Next up, you can go ahead and start to apply your first nice and thin layer of gel polish. Again, you have to cure your nails for the time needed. When you’re done, apply the second coat of gel polish and repeat the curing process under the lamp. b one by following the same procedure.
  • It’s time now for the last layer of gel- the top coat. By applying a thin layer, make sure you cover the nail and seal it properly. Cure your nails for the last time and when you’re done, by using a paper towel and a little bit of alcohol, wipe off all the excess. This procedure will help you prevent dust and other small particles from destroying your manicure and will help your nails look beautiful.
