FAQs
Is this gel polish suitable for at-home use?
While designed for professionals, it can be used at home if you have access to and knowledge of using LED/UV lamps and proper gel application/removal techniques.
How long does the polish typically last?
When applied correctly with a proper base and top coat, The Edge Gel Polish can last up to two to three weeks without chipping or peeling.
What is the curing time for this gel polish?
Curing times vary depending on the lamp used (LED or UV) and its wattage. Always refer to your specific lamp's instructions and generally cure for 30-60 seconds under LED and 120 seconds under UV.
Can I mix this gel polish with other brands?
It is generally recommended to use products from the same system (base coat, color, top coat) for optimal performance and compatibility. Mixing brands can sometimes lead to issues with curing or longevity.
Is the removal process difficult?
Removal is similar to other gel polishes. It typically involves gently filing the top layer, soaking the nails in acetone, and then gently pushing off the softened gel. Avoid forcing or peeling the gel.
Does this product contain any harmful chemicals?
The Edge Gel Polish is formulated to be 100% vegan. Specific ingredient lists can usually be found on the product packaging or manufacturer's website for detailed information.
Troubleshooting
Polish is streaky or uneven after two coats
Ensure each coat is applied thinly and evenly. Check for proper application technique and consider if a third thin coat might be beneficial for very intense colors or specific application methods.
Gel polish is not curing properly (tacky or soft)
Verify that the correct type of lamp (LED or UV) is being used and that it is functioning optimally. Ensure the curing time is sufficient as per the lamp and polish manufacturer's recommendations. Thicker coats may not cure fully; apply in thin layers.
Polish is chipping or lifting prematurely
Double-check nail preparation, ensuring the nail plate is clean, dry, and free of oils. Ensure the gel polish is properly capped at the free edge and that a compatible base and top coat are used. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals immediately after application.
