Nail Preparation
Begin by removing any existing nail polish. Gently file your nails to create a slightly rough surface, ensuring better adhesion for the gel polish. This step is crucial for long-lasting results. Remember to be gentle to avoid damaging your natural nails.
Applying Base Coat and Primer
Cleanse your nails with a gel cleanser to remove any residue. Apply a thin layer of gel primer, ensuring even coverage. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding to the next step. This creates a strong bond between your natural nail and the gel polish.
Next, apply a thin layer of base coat, carefully avoiding your cuticles and skin. Cure the base coat under the SensationNAIL LED lamp for 30 seconds. The lamp will beep to signal completion.
Applying Color Gel Polish
Apply a thin layer of your chosen gel polish color. Cure this layer under the LED lamp for one minute; the lamp will automatically turn off. For richer color, apply a second thin coat and cure for another minute. Repeat for the other hand.
Top Coat and Finishing
Apply a thin layer of top coat to protect your manicure and add shine. Cure the top coat under the LED lamp for 30 seconds. Finally, use the gel cleanser to gently wipe down your nails, removing any stickiness or residue. This step leaves your nails smooth and shiny.
Your gel manicure is now complete! Enjoy your beautiful, long-lasting nails.
