Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application Steps
- Prepare Nails: Start with clean, dry nails. Ensure they are free from any oils, lotions, or old polish. You may lightly buff the nail surface for better adhesion, then wipe clean.
- Apply Color: Apply two thin, even coats of 'Lookin Fly For A Cacti' nail polish. Allow each coat to dry for 1-2 minutes until tacky before applying the next.
- Apply Top Coat: Finish with one thin, even coat of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat (sold separately). This step is crucial as it activates the gel-like wear and shine of the system.
Compatibility
This nail polish is specifically engineered to work with the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat for optimal performance, shine, and extended wear. Using a different brand or type of top coat will likely reduce the wear time and chip resistance of your manicure.
Care & Removal
- Extend Wear: To further prolong your manicure, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals (e.g., cleaning products) without gloves, especially immediately after application. Apply cuticle oil daily to keep nails hydrated.
- Removal: The Miracle Gel system can be easily removed with any standard acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover. Simply soak a cotton pad with remover, place it on your nail, and gently wipe away the polish. No special soaking or scraping, often associated with traditional gel polish, is required.
