Precautions & Best Practice

Avoid contact with skin. Remove any gel that has accidentally come into contact with the skin before curing. Ideal thickness is 0.1mm – 0.2mm. Do not apply thick coats of the gel as this will cause cracking & bubbling. Opaque colours may need a 3rd thin coat if nail is still visible.

Do not touch the nail surface whilst it is curing.

Make sure the gel is fully exposed to the LED / UV Light when curing.

*Curing times may vary according to power of lamp used. Adjust times to suit.

If clients experience a stinging sensation when hands are placed under the lamp, or are known to have damaged nails, apply a thin coat of GELLUV® Repair & Protect instead of Foundation Base Coat, before applying gel polish. Cure for same length of time as Gel polish. Do Not remove sticky layer or touch the nail until all layers have been applied and cured.

 

 

Removal:

 

  1. Break the gloss finish of the polish using a nail file, removing as much of the gloss layer as possible without filing down to the natural nail.
  2. Soak a cotton ball with GELLUV®Professional Acetone and apply over the nail and wrap with aluminium foil
  3. Wait for 15-20 minutes. Remove the aluminium foil and cotton ball. Gently remove any gel residue with cuticle stick
  4. Clean the nails with nutrients.
