APPLICATION TIPS & TRICKS Always use the base and top coat from the same line, as they’re designed to work together for the strongest, most durable finish.Avoid applying lotion or cuticle oil before the gel application as it may cause premature “lifting”.Apply thin coats of color and cure between each layer, darker colors require longer curing time than the lighter ones.Avoid applying gel on your skin or cuticle area.Cap the free nail edge which will create a protective seal around the tip and sides of the nail.Avoid soaking your hands in hot water up to 4 hours after a manicure.Aftercare: apply cuticle oil daily.
