How to Apply Gel Polish At Home?
1. Prep Your Nails:
- Use the nail pusher to push up the cuticle and then use the cuticle nippers to cut it clean.
- Use nail file to polish the nail surface and shape the nail.
- Clean the nail surface with nail polish remover pads.
2. Apply Base Coat:
Applying base coat is an essential step. If you don’t apply base coat, the nail gel polish will peel off easily. So we need to apply a thin layer of base coat and dry it in the uv led nail lamp for 60 seconds.
3. Apply Gel Polish Colors:
We need to apply a thin layer of color gel polish and then dry it in the uv led nail lamp for 60 seconds. Apply a thin layer of color gel again and dry in the uv led nail lamp for 60 seconds.
4. Apply Top Coat:
This step is also very important. If you don’t apply a top coat, the nail gel polish will be easily scratched. So we need to apply a thin layer of top coat and then dry it in the uv led nail lamp for 60 seconds.
