FAQs
How long does The Edge Gel Polish typically last?
When applied correctly with a proper base and top coat, The Edge Gel Polish can last for 2-3 weeks without chipping or peeling.
Do I need a special lamp to cure this gel polish?
Yes, this is an LED/UV curable gel polish and requires curing under a compatible LED or UV nail lamp to harden and set.
Is this gel polish suitable for beginners?
While designed for professional use, beginners can achieve great results with practice. Ensure you follow application steps carefully and use a good quality lamp.
Can I mix this gel polish with other brands?
It is generally recommended to use a consistent system (base coat, color, top coat) from the same brand for optimal performance. However, this gel polish is designed to be compatible with most standard gel base and top coats.
How do I remove The Edge Gel Polish?
Gel polish removal typically involves soaking the nails in acetone or using a gel polish remover solution. Filing off the top coat first can aid in the removal process.
Is the Pastel Yellow shade opaque enough with one coat?
The product is formulated for two-coat coverage to achieve optimal opacity and vibrancy. While one coat might provide some color, two coats are recommended for the best finish.
What does '100% vegan' mean for this product?
It means that no animal-derived ingredients were used in the manufacturing of the gel polish, and the product was not tested on animals.
Troubleshooting
Polish is streaky or uneven after two coats.
Ensure coats are applied thinly and evenly. Try shaking the bottle gently before application to redistribute pigment. Ensure proper curing time is followed.
Gel polish is not curing properly or remains tacky.
Verify that your LED/UV lamp is functioning correctly and has sufficient wattage. Ensure you are curing for the recommended duration for your lamp type and the specific polish formula. Check if the lamp's bulbs need replacing.
Polish is bubbling during application.
Avoid applying coats that are too thick. Ensure the brush is not overloaded. Apply in thin layers. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped between coats during application.
Gel polish is lifting or peeling at the edges.
Proper nail preparation is crucial. Ensure the nail plate is free of oils and moisture. Make sure the base coat and top coat are sealing the free edge of the nail.
