Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a base and top coat?+
Yes. Gel color goes over a cured gel base coat and under a gel top coat; that is what gives it adhesion and shine.
How do I remove it?+
File off the shine of the top coat, wrap the nail with acetone-soaked cotton and foil for about 10 to 15 minutes, then gently push the gel off.
How should I store it?+
Close it right after use and keep it out of the sun. Monitors show color differently; swatch it before an exact match. Close it right after each use.
