Troubleshooting
Polish not curing properly
Ensure your LED/UV lamp is functioning correctly and that the polish is not applied too thickly. Cure for the recommended time specified by your lamp manufacturer.
Gel polish chipping or peeling early
Check that the nail surface was properly prepped (cleaned, dehydrated), that the base and top coats were applied correctly and cured, and that no polish was applied to the skin or cuticle.
Streaking or uneven color
Apply thinner coats and ensure even coverage. Allow each coat to cure fully before applying the next. Two thin coats are better than one thick coat.
Polish is too thick or sticky in the bottle
This can happen if the bottle was left open too long or exposed to heat. Store as recommended and ensure the cap is sealed tightly. If excessively thick, it may be difficult to apply smoothly.
