Product Information
Full details
Mavala Gel Finish Top Coat is designed for manicure enthusiasts who want the high-shine, voluminous look of a professional salon gel mani without the hassle or damage of UV lamp curing. This product provides a durable, chip-resistant barrier that adds a smooth, domed appearance to any standard nail polish; however, users should note that while it mimics a gel effect, it requires standard air-drying time rather than curing instantly.

FAQs
Do I need a special lamp to use this?
No, Mavala Gel Finish Top Coat is designed to air-dry just like a traditional nail polish.
Can I use this with any brand of nail polish?
Yes, it is formulated to be compatible with standard lacquer-based nail polishes from any brand.
Is this a true gel polish?
No, it is a gel-effect top coat that provides a similar aesthetic and durability without the chemical curing process associated with professional gel systems.
How do I remove it?
You can remove it easily using your preferred standard nail polish remover; no soaking or scraping is required.
Will this damage my natural nails?
The formula is designed to be gentle and does not require the rough buffing or harsh chemical removal process involved with professional gel manicures.
Troubleshooting
Top coat is bubbling on the nail
Ensure your base color is sufficiently dry before applying the top coat, and apply in thin, controlled strokes.
Formula has become too thick inside the bottle
Use a few drops of high-quality nail polish thinner to restore the consistency; do not use acetone as it will break down the formula.
Manicure chips within one day
Ensure you have 'capped' the free edge of the nail by running the brush horizontally across the tip of the nail during application.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Drying time is longer than UV-cured gels
- Requires careful application to avoid thick layers
- Not a true chemical-cured gel polish
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your base nail polish is completely dry before application to prevent bubbling. Simply apply one thin coat over your colored polish, sealing the free edge of the nail for maximum durability. For care, store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent the formula from thickening over time. If the brush accumulates dried product, you can gently wipe it with a lint-free cloth soaked in a small amount of polish remover. The product is compatible with almost all standard lacquer-based nail polishes but should not be used over actual UV gel products.
