How to apply Gelish gel polish?
Gelish gel nail polish is designed with ease of use in mind: applied like regular nail polish but worn like durable gel. Its unique formulation ensures smooth, even coverage and cures in just 30 seconds under an LED lamp, making it perfect for quick, stunning manicures at home or in the salon. Here's how to get a perfect Gelish gel nail manicure:
Firstly, you will need:
-
Gelish pH Bond dehydrator
-
Gelish Foundation base coat
-
Gelish gel polish colour of your choice
-
Gelish Top It Off top coat
-
Gel cleanser or isopropyl alcohol
Steps:
-
Prepare your nails: Start with clean, dry nails and gently push back cuticles and shape nails with a file. Then, lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine and dust off debris.
-
Cleanse and dehydrate: Use a lint-free wipe soaked in gel cleanser or alcohol to clean the nails. Then, apply Gelish pH Bond to dehydrate the nail plate.
-
Apply the base coat: Apply a thin layer of Gelish Foundation base coat to the nails. Avoid skin and cuticles and cure under an LED lamp for 30 seconds (or UV lamp for 1 minute).
-
Apply colour: Apply a thin layer of Gelish gel polish. Cure for 30 seconds under an LED lamp (or 2 minutes under a UV lamp). Repeat for a second coat if needed, curing after each layer.
-
Seal with top coat: Apply a thin layer of Gelish Top It Off. Cure for 30 seconds (LED) or 2 minutes (UV).
-
Cleanse for shine: To achieve a glossy finish, use a lint-free wipe soaked in gel cleanser or alcohol to remove the sticky residue unless you're using a no-wipe top coat.
For the best results, always apply thin layers of gel polish to prevent lifting or wrinkling. Cap the nail's free edge with each layer for durability, and avoid touching the skin during application to prevent peeling.
