Product Usage
1.How do I know how much power I need?
Different nail lamps correspond to different needs, if you want to dry nail polish quickly, you can dry 10 fingers at the same time, then you can choose in the high power nail lamp; If you choose a low-power nail lamp, it will be more environmentally friendly in power, but also more compact and easy to carry.
2.How long does it take to cure nail polish?
After drying with our UV light, the nail polish will dry in about 3 minutes.
3. Can I use regular nail polish and gel nails at the same time?
Of course, although our nail polish is acrylic gel and requires the use of our commercial UV lamp to dry perfectly, our matching nail polish lamp will dry nail polish of other materials as well.
4. How long-lasting is nail polish after use?
Our nail polish can last 7-10 days after the end of drying, which means that a single use can maintain 10 days of beauty.
5.Why does my gel get wrinkling or bubbling after I cure it?
Wrinkled or bubbled gel polish happens because:
(1).The polish is likely to be too thick and this thickness prevents the UV light from completely curing the gel polish at the lower layer.
(2).You did an inadequate nail surface preparation.
Before applying gel polish on nails, proper nail surface preparation has to be done.(Do buff the tip or free edge of the nails to remove any burs.Clean the nail surface with alcohol and apply bonder/dehydrator.)
(3).Old or inadequate UV lamps will not cure gel polish properly. We recommend thin coats, and to fully cure the gel under the lamp based on the wattage and strength of the bulbs. Every lamp is different but we recommend to cure the LED minimum of 60 seconds UV 2 minutes.
- PLEASE NOTE: White and black gel polishes tend to wrinkle or bubble more than any other shades. Most lights will reflect away from the white color so if white gel polish is too thick, as the top layer cures, this cured layer will prevent light from coming through and there will not be enough light energy to go cure the lower layer. On the contrary, lights will be absorbed by the black gel polish and after the top layer cures, it will also prevent sufficient light to go deeper to cure the lower layer. Make sure you only apply thin coats when using white or black gel polish. You can always add one more layer if the shade is not what you like yet. The time it takes to apply one more coat is much less than the time it takes to remove the polish and it back again.
6.How do I remove the GEL POLISH?
Step 1: Lightly buff off the shine from the top of nails using a nail buffer.
Step 2: Soak a cotton ball or pad with nail gel remover and place on top of each nail.
Step 3: Wrap the nail with aluminum foil or any nail wrap to secure and allow the remover to soak.
Step 4: Soak for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Step 5: Remove cotton and foils one at a time and gently push off gel using a removal wand. Gel should come off easily without much effort. If necessary, re-saturate cotton and rewrap fingers and soak for 5 more minutes.
Step 6: Lightly buff nails again and apply cuticle oil to hydrate and strengthen.
7.How do I remove the POLY GEL?
Method 1: Acetone-Free
Items that you need to prepare: A nail cutter, An e-nail file or a file with small grit ( from 120 to 150), A 180 grit nail file, Two buffing cubes ( one for smoothing out the nail surface, the other for polishing it; a professional buffing cube can have both the two functions, each on one side: smoothing and polishing), Cuticle oil(If you have.)
Step 1:Cutting any extra nail length with a nail cutter. To make it easier to work with your nails later on, you had better remove any extra length. If you wish to keep the length of your natural nails, then only trim out the polygel extensions.
Step 2:Gently rubbing the polygel layer away Use the e-file or the 120 grit nail file to remove most of the polygel from your nails, moving from the cuticle to the tip of the nails. When using the e-nail file, you need to be careful not to take off the top layers of natural nails. Remember to set the e-file at low speed. It is fine to leave some polygel on your nails.We will take care of it in the next step.
Step 3:Remove the remaining polygel. Once you have finished with the e-nail file/120 grit file, use the 180 grit file to gently buff off the remaining layers of polygel. Keep in mind that at this step, you need to be very patient and careful, don’t rub too hard, otherwise, your natural nails will get damaged.
Step 4:Smooth out and polish the nail surface with buffing cubes. Filing off the polygel outlay will inevitably cause some scratches and imperfections in the nail surfaces. Use a soft buffing cube to smooth out all the scratches and imperfections.
Step 5:Hydrating the cuticles. Applying some cuticle oil to your nails to add some moisture back to your natural nails. Gently buffing the nails.
Method 2: Wrapping
Items that you need to prepare: A cuticle pusher, A nail file, Cotton balls, Aluminum foil sheets cut into pieces, Acetone
Step 1:Cutting any extra nail length with a nail cutter.
Step 2:Buff the top layers of polygel outlay. First, you need to break the seal at the tip of our fingers. If you have cut off the polygel extension, then you already did that. Use the buffing cube to make the polygel buffy and cloudy so it will get removed more easily when reacting with acetone.
Step 3:Divide cotton balls into pieces that are big enough to cover your nails. Saturating them with acetone
Step 4:Foil wrapping. Cover the surface of your nails with cotton pieces soaked with acetone. Use Aluminum foil pieces to wrap up the top of the finger. The less air you let inside, the quicker the polygel gets loosened. (*Wait for the acetone to do its job for 10-12 minutes.)
Step 5:Peeling off the polygel. After 10 minutes, unfold the aluminum foils. At this time, the polygel kind of peeled off itself. Use the cuticle pusher to gently scrape off the remaining polygel, moving from the cuticle part to the tip.
Step 6:Smooth and polish the nail by buffing.
Product safety
1.Is it safe to use nail polish ?
We use acrylic materials that are environmentally friendly enough that in addition to not causing pollution to the natural environment, there is no harm to babies and the elderly.
2.What's the difference between gel nail polish and regular polish?
The main difference between gel polish and normal air-dry nail polish is the length of wear and it’s high gloss shine finish. When applied correctly, gel nail polish can last up to two weeks without chipping. Another big difference is the drying time. Because the gel polish needs a LED lamp to cure, it dries much more quickly, so you can go about your life right away, without worrying about smudging.
3.Why is the gel thick?
It is normal for gel polish to be slightly thick when exposed to low temperatures. If you think the gel is too thick, we recommend placing the entire bottle of gel polish (tightly sealed) into a cup of warm water for about a minute. The gel will become thinner due to the heat!
4.Why are my nails so weak after gel polish?
"Prolonged use of gel manis and acrylics dehydrates your nails, making them dry, brittle, and fragile," says manicurist Jin Soon Choi, founder of JINSoon nail polish and salons. A cuticle oil and a safe ingredient nail product is your BFF for imparting deep hydration and keeping your nail solid.
5.Which toxins is your formula FREE of?
