Frequently Asked Questions
How long will this manicure last?
With proper application and care, this gel manicure can last up to two weeks without chipping.
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel?
Yes, but the longevity and high-shine finish will not be the same.
What if I don't have a UV/LED lamp?
A UV/LED lamp is essential for curing gel polish. Air-drying gel polish will not work.
How do I prevent damaging my nails during gel removal?
Avoid scraping or forcing off the gel polish. Allow ample soaking time for gentle removal.
Is a base coat necessary?
A base coat can help protect your nails and improve the adhesion of the gel polish, but is not critical for this design if using a self-leveling gel.
Can I add nail art on top of this design?
Absolutely! This design serves as a perfect base for more intricate nail art designs.
