Dreaming of a shiny, long-lasting manicure at home, honey?
It’s as easy as grabbing one of our manicure kits and following the steps below!
- Use a wooden stick to push back your cuticles.
- File the edges of your nails with a nail file and the surface with a sanding block. Using a brush, remove any dust.
- Nail Cleansing Prep Pads clean and prep your nails before applying gel polish.
- Shake the gel polish. Open the bottle and wipe the brush against the inside edges of the bottle neck, removing most of the gel from the brush. Apply a very thin layer of gel covering the entire surface of your nail.
- Let it cure under the LED lamp for 30 seconds.
- Repeat: apply a second layer of gel polish and cure again.
- Follow these steps for each nail and that’s it, you’re done!
Pro tip: extend your gel manicure up to 3 weeks with the Top Coat. Longer shine, longer wear without chipping!
There is definitely a learning curve when it comes to applying gel at home. So don’t be disappointed or lose confidence if your first DIY gel manicures don’t look fantastic or last for weeks – don’t worry, you’ll be a pro in no time with a little patience and practice!
