Expert Tip

Achieving that 'photo-real' finish hinges on applying extremely thin, even coats of polish. Rushing or applying thick layers will lead to bubbling, unevenness, and reduced longevity.

Aftercare Tips

  • Moisturize your hands and nails regularly to maintain skin health and the polish's luster.
  • Be gentle with your nails for the first few hours after your manicure, allowing the polish to fully set and harden.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water or steam immediately after your service, which can sometimes affect the gel's adhesion.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file the top coat layer of your pink nails to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
  • 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them directly on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Gently scrape off the softened gel polish with a wood stick or metal pusher. Do not force, and re-soak if necessary.
