FAQs
Do I need a base coat with Rimmel Super Gel?
No, Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polish is designed to be used without a base coat. It contains a unique formula that acts as both a base and color coat.
Do I need a UV/LED lamp to cure this polish?
No, the Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polish cures and hardens naturally in daylight or ambient light. No special lamp is required.
How long does Rimmel Super Gel typically last?
The formula is designed to provide up to 14 days of chip- and fade-resistant wear when applied correctly.
How do I remove Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polish?
It can be removed using a standard nail polish remover, but for easier removal, especially after extended wear, a stronger acetone-based remover or a product specifically designed for gel polish removal is recommended.
Can I use a regular topcoat over Rimmel Super Gel?
While not necessary as the polish has a built-in glossy finish, you can use a standard topcoat if desired. However, some users find that using only the Super Gel provides the best longevity and finish.
How many shades are available?
Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polish is available in a wide range of 39 versatile shades.
What is the best way to apply the polish for maximum wear?
For best results, apply two thin, even coats and allow each coat to dry sufficiently before applying the next. Ensure nails are clean and dry before starting.
Troubleshooting
Polish is streaky or uneven
Apply a second, thin coat. Ensure the brush is adequately loaded but not overloaded. Move the brush more deliberately during application.
Polish is taking too long to dry
Ensure thin coats are applied. Avoid applying excessively thick layers, which will extend drying time. Use a quick-dry topcoat if desired, though the Super Gel is designed to dry adequately on its own.
Nail polish chips easily
Ensure nails are completely clean and free of oils before application. Apply two even coats and allow ample drying time. Consider using a dedicated gel polish remover for application, as it can sometimes indicate a need for a stronger removal process.
Product is too thick in the bottle
This can happen if the cap is not sealed properly, allowing evaporation. Try adding a drop of nail polish thinner (specifically designed for nail polish) and shaking gently. Avoid adding regular remover.
