FAQs

Do I need a UV/LED lamp to use this gel polish?

Yes, a UV or LED nail lamp is required to cure the gel polish and achieve the long-lasting, chip-resistant finish. The lamp is not included with the polish.

How long does the Mylee Gel Nail Polish last?

When applied correctly with a base and top coat, Mylee Gel Nail Polish typically lasts up to three weeks without chipping or fading.

How do I remove Mylee Gel Nail Polish?

For removal, soak a cotton pad with gel polish remover, place it on the nail, wrap with foil, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Gently push off the softened gel with an orange stick or cuticle pusher. Avoid forcefully scraping.

Can I use any brand of base and top coat with this polish?

While you can technically use other brands, using Mylee's specially formulated base and top coats is recommended to ensure optimal compatibility, performance, and longevity of the manicure.

Is 'Red Hot Gossip' a glitter or creme finish?

'Red Hot Gossip' is described as a deep red cat-eye shade, implying a metallic or duo-chrome effect rather than a glitter or flat creme finish.

How many coats of polish should I apply?

It is generally recommended to apply two thin coats of the gel polish for best color payoff and even coverage, curing each coat individually.

Troubleshooting

Gel polish not curing properly (remains sticky)

Ensure you are using a compatible UV/LED lamp and that it is functioning correctly. Apply polish in thin layers, as thick layers can prevent proper curing. Check that the lamp's wattage is sufficient for gel curing. Ensure you are curing for the full 60 seconds per layer.

Polish chipping or peeling prematurely

Thoroughly prep the nail surface, ensuring it is clean and free of oils. Apply a thin base coat and ensure it is fully cured. Avoid applying polish too close to the cuticle. Ensure the top coat is applied evenly and cured properly. Do not skip the top coat.

Brush strokes or uneven application

Apply the gel polish in very thin coats. Use the precision brush to guide the polish evenly across the nail. If streaking occurs, try a slightly different angle with the brush or a gentler stroke. Ensure the polish is not too thick.

Difficulty removing the gel polish

Use a dedicated gel polish remover and follow the instructions carefully. Soaking cotton pads with remover, placing them on the nails, and wrapping with foil for 10-15 minutes is a common method. Gently scrape away softened gel with an orange stick or cuticle pusher.
