FAQs

How long does Max Factor Gel Shine Lacquer typically last?

Max Factor Gel Shine Lacquer is formulated to last for up to 7 days with proper application and care.

Do I need a special UV lamp for this nail polish?

No, this is an air-drying nail polish. It provides a gel-like finish without the need for a UV or LED lamp.

How many coats are recommended for best results?

The formula is designed for rich, opaque color in one coat. However, a second thin coat can be applied for added depth or if the initial application was very light.

What is the best way to remove this nail polish?

Use a high-quality nail polish remover, preferably one that is acetone-based or specifically designed for long-wear or gel-effect polishes, to ensure easy and effective removal.

Is this nail polish self-levelling?

Yes, the formula is self-levelling, which helps to minimize streaks and brush marks for a smoother finish.

What is the size of the bottle?

The bottle contains 11ml of nail polish.

Does '55 SPRK BER' mean it has glitter?

The 'SPRK' in the shade name typically indicates a sparkling or shimmer finish, giving the 'Sparkling Berry' shade its characteristic glossy, reflective appearance.

Troubleshooting

Nail polish appears streaky

Ensure the brush is adequately loaded but not overloaded. Apply in thin, even strokes, and allow each coat to become touch-dry before applying the next. Ensure the self-levelling properties have time to work by not over-manipulating the polish.

Nail polish is too thick to apply smoothly

Close the bottle tightly and roll it between your hands to warm and mix the product. Avoid adding nail polish thinner unless absolutely necessary, as it can alter the formula's performance. If it remains too thick, consider it best for one-coat applications.

Color is not opaque after one coat

While designed for one-coat coverage, for deeper saturation or if the application was very thin, apply a second thin coat once the first is touch-dry. Ensure even coverage with the initial coat.

Nail polish chips easily

Ensure nails are properly prepped (clean and dry). Apply a good base coat and a quality top coat. Cap the free edge of the nail with both the color and top coat to seal the polish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a high-shine, gel-like finish.
  • Lasts up to 7 days with proper application.
  • Rich, opaque color in one coat.
  • Minimizes application issues like streaking.
  • Convenient for at-home use.

Cons

  • May require careful application to achieve a perfectly smooth finish.
  • Removal might require a specific nail polish remover suitable for long-wear formulas.
  • The 'gel effect' may not perfectly replicate a true UV-cured gel.
  • Specific shade 'Sparkling Berry' may not suit all skin tones.
  • Consistency can be thick, requiring a gentle hand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application: Ensure nails are clean, dry, and free of oils. Apply one coat of your preferred base coat and let it dry completely. Apply a thin, even coat of Max Factor Gel Shine Lacquer in 55 Sparkling Berry. For maximum opacity and shine, apply a second coat if desired, ensuring the first coat is touch-dry. Finish with a top coat for extended wear and added shine.

Compatibility: This nail polish is designed for use on natural nails. It is compatible with most standard base coats and top coats, though using products from the same range may yield optimal results.

Care: To maximize wear time, avoid prolonged exposure to hot water and harsh chemicals. When removing, use a good quality nail polish remover, preferably one formulated for long-wear or gel-effect polishes, to avoid excessive rubbing.
