GENERAL PROBLEMS WITH GEL POLISH
Why Bubbles Get in My Gel Polish:
Gel Polish should be applied in thin layers. If the layer is too thick, then your UV or LED lamp only hardens the surface, and the chemicals that are not hardened will evaporate and penetrate the surface, making bubbles.
Why Wrinkle My Gel Polish?
Your Gel Polish contracts and wrinkles are due to applying a too thick layer of Gel Polish. Lay three layers rather than two thick layers.
Why Bubbles My Gel Polish?
When your Gel Polish bubbles, apply a too thick layer of Gel Polish. Lay three layers rather than two thick layers.
Why My Gel Nail Polish Burns On The Nail?
Gel Polish does not burn on the nails if they are healthy and if there are no products on the skin. The nail plate consists of dead horn layers. Gel Polish burns on the nails if the nail is damaged and, for example, too much of the surface has been filleted. The surface of the nail will be very red. It will also burn during the curing of the lamp if you have Gel Polish on your cuticles, as the skin will then give a burning sensation under the lamp.
Why Does My Gel Polish Not Cure?
Gel Polish typically needs to harden for 2 min. Under Uv lamp, and 1 min. Under an LED lamp. BUT Gel Polish comes in a lot of collars. The more pigment there is in the colour - the more the polish must harden. So since black, white, and dark collars contain a lot of pigment, they must therefore cure 50% longer than usual. Gel Polish does not harden under the light, but must be wiped off with a cleaner after you have applied a regular top coat on your Polish, or you must use a No Cleanse Top Coat, then your Gel Polish will be hard without a cleaner.
Why Crack My Gel Polish?
Gel Polish is on your nail plate. If your nail plate moves under your Gel Polish by shock, then your Gel Polish will automatically crack, as your Gel Polish is hardened and stiff, then it will crack if the natural nail bends under your Gel Polish, as it will follow the movements of the natural nail. Gel Polish gives a very small reinforcement of your natural nail, but you cannot build an artificial nail with Gel Polish. If your own nails do not move under the Gel Sheet, then your Gel Polish will not crack. If your nails persist and crack, then try with two coats of top coat for extra strength, or you can put a silk reinforcement under your Gel Polish, which then will not crack, as the natural nails are reinforced, and thus do not bend in shock.
Why Does My Gel Polish Lift Off The Nail Plate - Gel Polish Lifting?
Lifting is when Gel Polish lifts itself from the nail plate and does not get stuck down at the cuticles. To avoid lifting, it is important that you first prepare the natural nails, and then use Bond, and Base Gel Polish, so that your Gel Polish gets a good grip on the nail plate. Make sure at the first coat of Gel Polish, and brush around the free edge of the nail. If you hit your cuticles with Gel Polish, the nail will grow out, and where Gel Polish has been stuck, it will loosen, and lifting will occur. Lifting can also occur if you have washed your hands and your nails are not completely dry before applying your Gel Polish. Cuticles are a layer of skin that wraps around your nail to protect the nail growth from bacteria that can damage the growth of the nail. Carefully push the cuticles back before applying Gel Polish and buff any remnants from the cuticles away. Cuticles are made up of protein, and protein is made up of fat, and no products adhere to a fat layer.
Why can I peel off my Gel Polish:
This is because your Gel Polish does not have contact with your nail plate. Either you forgot and file the top grease layer of the nails before applying your Gel Polish. Or that you have not used Gel Polish bond and base coat first, then your Gel Polish does not bind on your nail plate and can be pulled off. It can also be because you use liquids to remove dust from the nail, so that there is liquid on the nails when you apply your Gel Polish.
Why does my Gel Polish loosen at the tip of the nail?
Do it if you forgot and seal the first layer of Gel Polish at the end of the nails so you are sealing your own nail.
Why does my Gel Polish get scratched on the surface?
This is either because it is not hardened under the light, or you may have been in contact with chemicals that dissolve your Gel Polish, such as acetone or the like.
Why does my Gel Polish turn grey on the surface?
It becomes Gel Polish typically if you have been in contact with Silver Shampoo or other hair collars where you have not used gloves or new clothes where the colour is contagious.
Why does everything my Gel Polish smokes off when I use Gel Polish Cleaner?
This is because your Gel Polish colour does not need to be wiped off with cleaner when it has been under the UV / LED light, it is only the top coat that needs cleaner in the end.
Why does Gel Polish colour on my top coat?
This is because your curing of your Gel Polish colours is not long enough. Ordinary Gel Polish colours should have 2 minutes in UV light, and 1 minute in LED light. If your Gel Polish colour is white, black, dark brown, dark red or white, then the colour contains a lot of pigment, which the light has a hard time penetrating, and therefore these colours must have 50% extra light.
Why does my Gel Polish brush make grooves in my Gel Polish?
This is because UV light has come on your brush, so some of the hairs have hardened together.
Why is my Gel Polish brush solidified?
It does this if you have had your lamp on, and use your brush near the lamp, or if you have sat outside in the shade or the sun, so that your Gel Polish has got UV light, which is ALWAYS in the light outside. You can use a different brush so you do not have to and throw your Gel Polish out.
Why are my nails green when I buy my Gel Polish?
When you wash your hands before applying Gel Polish, your nails must be completely dry before you apply Gel Polish, otherwise your nail will have a green colour, which shows that there has been liquid under your Gel Polish, which looks like green moss. It is not dangerous, and it is not a nail disease, but just a discoloration which grows off the nail again and can be covered with Gel Polish colour.
Why do my nails become discoloured by Gel Polish?
Discoloration when using nail polish is due to lack of use of base coat, which protects against discoloration. This discoloration is easily removed by buffering the nail. Discoloration associated with artificial nails is typically, a nail that becomes greenish beneath the materials. This is because you have washed your hands and built artificial nails, while the nail has still been damp. Therefore, the water lies under the nails and smoulders, and turns into a greenish discoloration. This discoloration is seen quite often, and the nail just needs to grow out, so the discoloration disappears. Discoloration can be covered with nail polish or Gel Polish.
Why use anti-bacterial before your Gel Polish?
Anti-Bacterial kills bacteria and can be used on nails and to disinfect files.
How do I avoid bacteria when I use Gel Polish?

Why should I file the surface of my natural nail before applying Gel Polish?
That's because we all have a fat layer on top of our nails and Gel Polish does not adhere to a fat layer. You should not file in the nails, but just gently with a fine file or buffer remove the top layer of fat.
Why should I use Gel Polish bond?
Gel Polish Bond dehydrates the nail, and at the same time makes the nail plate rough if you look at the nail in a magnifying glass, which ensures the products a better adhesion to the nail.

Why use a Gel Polish Cleaner?

How long should Gel Polish cure in UV and LED light?
Ordinary colours should cure 2 minutes in UV light, and 1 minute in LED light. Dark colours, white and dark red must cure 50% longer, as these colours contain a lot of pigment, which the light has a hard time penetrating and curing.
How do I remove my Gel Polish?

Should I take a break with Gel Polish so my nails can breathe?
Your nails are made up of dead horn layers and your nails do not breathe, so you do not have to take breaks.
Why the colours on Gel Polish do not appear as in the pictures?
Since Gel Polish collars are difficult to display on a computer, an iPhone or a mobile phone, and as the colour scheme of each device is different, the collars will not be the same for everyone who sees them, as the devices cannot display glitter and neon, and colour differences when the colour is seen in the sun or in the shade, as well as show the collars with incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes, halogen and LED lights, so therefore we make texts and colour samples for all Gel Polish collars, which we describe under the picture of Gel Polish colour, for and help, and both see the colour and read how they look, as well as whether the colour changes in sun and shade, and whether they have mother-of-pearl effect, micro glitter or other.
Gel Polish Nails Bidder:
Start with Gel Polish and if that is not enough, make a nail reinforcement with silk, as the silk becomes completely invisible on the nail and there is no height on the nail, as with acrylic and gel.
About Gel Polish:
Gel Polish is applied to a prepared nail plate and cured in UV or LED lamp. Gel Polish is built wet in wet, which means that no cleaner needs to be used after you have hardened the Gel Polish colour under the lamp. So, the nails are not hard when they are finished under the lamp, but only after you have applied a coat of top coat and clean off with Cleaner at the end. You can also use No Cleanse Topcoat, which does not need a cleaner in the end.
Gel Polish Removal:
Take a piece of cotton wool or Nail Wrap and wet it with Remover, and put the cotton wool on the nail, and put silver paper over, or fold your Nail Wrap. Wait 10 minutes and scrape off the polish with a Pusher & Cleaner. Carefully buff the rest of if there is more polish on the nail. We can recommend Finger Clamps or a Soak Off Machine for removal.
Gel Polish Base Coat:
Protects against discoloration and gives a better adhesion to the nail plate.
Gel Polish Bond:
