Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this nail art last?
With proper application and care, this gel manicure can last up to two weeks.
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel?
Yes, but the finish may not be as durable or long-lasting. You'll also need to adjust the drying times.
What's the best way to clean my nail art brushes?
Use a brush cleaner specifically designed for nail art brushes or acetone.
Is a UV/LED lamp necessary?
Yes, if you're using gel polish. It's required to cure and harden the gel.
How do I prevent the polish from flooding my cuticles?
Apply thin coats and avoid overloading the brush with polish. Use a cuticle pusher to gently clean up any excess.

You can use a toothpick or a dotting tool for creating small details, but a fine liner brush provides the most control.
