Instructions
Please read and follow complete instructions, including warnings, cautions and important professional tips, before applying gel polish products onto nails. ColorMe® Gel Polish cures (hardens), in seconds under a LED Lamp, unlike regular polish that air dries over a long period of time. Gel requires no dry time.
Gel Polish Application
Prepping your nails properly will help the gel polish adhere to your nails. Find a well-ventilated, clean working space for the Gel Polish application. Do not apply outdoors or in direct sunlight as product is light sensitive. Remove any existing polish from nails then wash and thoroughly dry hands. Push back cuticles with the cuticle pusher. It’s important that the cuticle area is clean and free from debris when you apply the gel as it may stop the gel from adhering to the nail.
1. Prepare
a. File and shape the free edge and lightly buff the shine off the natural nail with the buffing side of the file. Do not over buff. Remove any remaining dust.
b. Using the Lint-Free Wipes, clean nails with Gel Cleanser and allow to air dry for 15 seconds.
c. Apply one layer of Gel Bonder sparingly to the nail.
d. For easier removal, apply sparingly in a circle, applying it to the outer edges of the nail only. Allow to air dry for 30 seconds.
e. Apply a thin layer of the Gel Base Coat to the clean, dry nail without touching the cuticle or skin alongside the nails.
f. Cap the free edge of the natural nail by running the polish brush along the nail tip. If necessary. use the cuticle pusher to clean cuticle area before curing. Place nails into LED Lamp and cure for 60 seconds. If applying a clear manicure, skip to “PROTECT” instructions.
2. Polish
g. Vigorously shake the Colour Gel Polish to make the viscosity thinner and easier to apply. Apply an even layer over the entire nail without touching the cuticle area. Cap the free edge of the nail by running the brush along the nail tip. If necessary, use the cuticle pusher to clean cuticle area before curing. Place nails into LED Lamp and cure for 60 seconds
TIPS
To remove excess product from the brush, when opening the bottle, circle the inside neck of the bottle with the brush.
We recommend applying the gel first to both thumbs and cure them together. Then apply the gel to the other four nails on one hand and cure. Repeat the same steps on the other hand.
The ColorMe ® Gel LED lamp is programmed for 30, 60 and 90 seconds. We advise to always cure for 60 seconds to get the best results.
Do not touch nails after curing. The curing process will leave a slight moisture layer on the nails at the end of each cure, but your nails will be ready for the Colour Gel Polish or the Gel Top Coat application. The moisture layer will be removed with Gel Cleanser at the end of the manicure.
3. Protect
h. Apply a thin layer of the Gel Top Coat. Make sure the gel does not touch the cuticle or skin alongside the nails. Cap the free edge of the nail by running the brush along the nail tip. If necessary, use the cuticle pusher to clean cuticle area before curing. Place nails into LED Lamp and cure for 60 seconds.
i. Remove the moisture layer using the Prep & Wipe.
Gel Polish Removal
Buff the shine off the surface of the nails with the grey side of the file.
Use silver foil or the ColorMe® Gel Polish Removal Clips. Saturate a cotton pad with Gel Polish Remover and place it on your nails. Wrap the foil tightly around the cotton pad on your finger or place it securely using the removal clips, this to lock in the natural heat. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the Gel polish Remover to lift the gel polish off the nail.
Remove the cotton pads. Use the ColorMe® Gel Polish Removal Tool to gently take the remaining gel polish off the nails. To remove any residue for a healthy finish, gently polish your nails with the polishing file.
