FAQs

How long does Semilac UV Gel Polish typically last?

When applied correctly with base and top coats and cured under a UV/LED lamp, Semilac UV Gel Polish can last up to 3 weeks without chipping or losing its shine.

Do I need a special lamp to cure this gel polish?

Yes, a UV or LED curing lamp is required to harden the gel polish. The polish will not dry on its own like traditional nail polish.

Can I use other brands' base or top coats with Semilac polish?

While it may work, using Semilac's own base and top coats is recommended to ensure optimal compatibility and performance for the longest-lasting and best-looking results.

Is Semilac gel polish safe for my natural nails?

Yes, Semilac gel polish is non-toxic, dermatologically tested, and formulated to be safe for your nails when used as directed. Proper application and removal are key to maintaining nail health.

How do I remove Semilac UV Gel Polish?

Removal typically involves soaking the nails in an acetone-based remover after gently filing off the top coat. Specific instructions can be found on Semilac's official guides or by consulting a nail technician.

Is Semilac a vegan and cruelty-free brand?

Yes, Semilac is committed to being cruelty-free and vegan-friendly, with no animal testing or animal-derived ingredients used in their products.

What is the difference between UV and LED lamps for curing gel polish?

UV lamps cure gel polish using ultraviolet light, typically taking 2 minutes per coat. LED lamps are faster, curing most gels in 30-60 seconds, and generally have a longer lifespan. Ensure your gel polish is compatible with the lamp type you choose.

Troubleshooting

Gel polish does not cure properly or remains sticky.

Ensure the UV/LED lamp is functioning correctly and has sufficient wattage. Check that each layer was cured for the recommended time (typically 30-60 seconds for LED, 2 minutes for UV). Apply polish in thin layers; thick coats can prevent proper curing.

Gel polish chips or peels off within a few days.

Ensure the nail plate was properly prepped (cleaned, free of oils, gently buffed). Verify that the base coat and top coat were applied correctly and cured. Make sure to cap the free edge of the nail with each coat, including the top coat.

Gel polish is difficult to remove.

Gently file the top coat to break the seal before applying remover. Use a quality acetone-based remover and soak the nails for the recommended time (usually 10-15 minutes). Avoid forcefully scraping the gel off, which can damage the natural nail.

Bubbles appear in the gel polish layer.

Apply polish in thin, even coats. Avoid shaking the bottle vigorously before application, as this can introduce air bubbles. Ensure the application area is not too warm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use Semilac UV gel polish, you will need a UV or LED curing lamp, a Semilac base coat, and a Semilac top coat. Ensure nails are clean, dry, and free of oils. Apply a thin layer of base coat and cure under the lamp. Then, apply two thin coats of the Semilac UV Gel Polish - 006 Classic Coral, curing each layer individually. Finish with a top coat and cure again. Wipe off the sticky residue with a cleanser.

Compatibility: Semilac gel polishes are designed to work optimally with Semilac base and top coats, as well as Semilac UV/LED lamps. While compatible with most standard UV/LED lamps, using the recommended system ensures the best performance and longevity.

Care: To maintain the manicure, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners directly on the nails. For removal, use a dedicated Semilac gel polish remover or acetone, following the recommended soaking procedures to avoid damaging the natural nail.
