Troubleshooting
Gel polish is streaky or uneven.
Ensure each coat is applied thinly and evenly. Allow sufficient curing time under the LED lamp for each layer. Check that your LED lamp is functioning correctly and the bulb is not old.
Gel polish is not hardening or is tacky after curing.
Increase curing time slightly, or ensure your LED lamp's wattage is sufficient. Verify that you are using an LED lamp, not a traditional UV lamp, as gel polish curing times can differ. Remove the tacky inhibition layer only after the final top coat has been cured.
Gel polish is chipping or peeling within days.
Make sure the nail surface was properly prepped (cleaned, dehydrated, and lightly buffed). Ensure the edges of the nail are capped with each coat (base, color, top). Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or prolonged soaking in water immediately after application.
Gel polish is difficult to remove.
Soak nails in acetone-based gel remover for the recommended time (usually 10-15 minutes). Gently scrape off softened gel with an orange wood stick or cuticle pusher. Avoid forcing removal, which can damage the natural nail.
