Product Information
Full details
This Gelluv Soak Off Gel Polish in Parma Violet is for nail technicians and enthusiasts seeking a vibrant, long-lasting gel color. Its key benefit is a professional-grade, chip-resistant finish that cures under UV/LED lamps for a salon-quality look. A potential caveat is the requirement for a UV/LED lamp and specific removal process, as it's a soak-off formula. This 8ml bottle is part of the Spring Collection, offering a rich, easy-to-apply gel designed for durability and simple removal.

FAQs
How long does Gelluv gel polish typically last?
When applied correctly with a base and top coat and cured under a UV/LED lamp, Gelluv gel polish typically lasts up to two weeks without chipping or peeling.
Do I need a special lamp to cure this gel polish?
Yes, this is a gel polish that requires curing under a UV or LED nail lamp. It will not air dry.
How do I remove Gelluv Soak Off Gel Polish?
To remove, gently buff the surface of the polish to break the seal, then soak the nails in acetone or a gel remover for 10-15 minutes. The polish should then be easily pushed or scraped off.
Can I use Gelluv gel polish with any base and top coat?
While it's compatible with most gel systems, using Gelluv's own base and top coat or products specifically designed for gel polish is recommended for best performance and compatibility.
Is this gel polish suitable for natural nails only, or can it be used on acrylics/extensions?
Gelluv Soak Off Gel Polish is suitable for application on natural nails, gel enhancements, and acrylic extensions.
What is the difference between UV and LED lamps for curing gel polish?
UV lamps cure gel polish using ultraviolet light, typically taking 2 minutes. LED lamps use light-emitting diodes and cure much faster, usually in 30-60 seconds, depending on the lamp's wattage and the polish formulation.
Troubleshooting
Polish not curing properly (too soft, wrinkly)
Ensure lamp is functioning correctly and bulbs are not old. Apply thinner coats of polish. Increase curing time slightly.
Gel polish chipping or peeling prematurely
Ensure nails are properly prepped (no oils, clean surface). Apply base coat and top coat correctly. Avoid capping the free edge with color but do cap with top coat. Check that the free edge is sealed.
Difficulty removing gel polish
Ensure proper soak-off technique using sufficient acetone and adequate soaking time (10-15 minutes). Gently buff the top coat before soaking. Avoid using harsh files to remove polish, as this can damage the natural nail.
Color not opaque in one coat
Apply a second thin coat of gel polish for full opacity. Ensure even application.
