Instructions:
1. Prep - Trim, shape and buff nails. Trim cuticles if necessary. Wipe nail plate and free edge of nails with an alcohol prep-pad to clean and dehydrate nails.
2. Apply - Apply a thin layer of 1 Step Gel polish to the nails. For maximum adhesion, always cap the free edge of the nails when applying each layer of gel polish.
3. Cure - Cure nails for 60 seconds using any UV/LED lamp.
4. Repeat - Repeat steps 2-3 until desired coat is achieved. Cure additional layers of gel polish for 60 seconds.
PRO TIP: For a long lasting gel manicure, ensure nails are completely dehydrated before application, apply thin layers of gel at a time and always cap the free edge of nails. Avoid curing the gel polish along the cuticle line to prevent lifting. Avoid soaking nails in water for long periods of time.
Removal:
1. Prep - Cut a strip of foil into individual rectangular strips to wrap around each finger.
1. Buff - Using a file, buff the existing top layer of gel on all nails to allow the acetone to penetrate the gel for easy removal.
2. Soak - Apply a small amount of acetone onto a piece of cotton and apply directly onto the nail. Wrap a piece of foil around the cotton and nail to allow the acetone to penetrate gel. Repeat for all 10 nails. Leave on for 10 minutes.
3. Remove and Hydrate - Remove foil wraps and using a cuticle pusher gently scrape the gel residue that remains on the nails. Once gel is removed, wash hands, apply Ardell Cuticle Oil around nails for hydration and go!
