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.
