To apply your DIY UV/LED Gel Nail Polish at home, you start by pushing back your cuticles, filing your nails, buffing your nails and wiping the buffing dust away with a Lint Free Wipe soaked in Nail Polish Remover. We recommend taking every effort to protect your skin by applying sunblock about 30 minutes before commencing your mani.

Once your prep is complete, you'll apply a Base Coat layer, an optional Builder Gel layer, 2-3 Colour Coat layers and a Top Coat layer. Each layer of Nail Gel is cured in just 60 seconds under the Gelous UV/LED Lamp. You can find a range of tips and tricks to help you create long lasting gel manicures and pedicures on our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Need to know how to remove Gel Nail Polish? To start with, a light buff of the nail surface with your Gelous Nail File removes the shiny Top Coat. You’ll then cover each nail with a Lint Free Wipe soaked in Nail Polish Remover and clip in place with the Nail Polish Removal Clips. After letting this sit for 15 minutes you can gently remove the polish with your Orangewood Cuticle Sticks. Following this, apply Blueberry or Osmanthus Cuticle Oil around your nails and rub into your skin to nourish and moisturise.

UV Nail Polish contains ingredients that react with the UV rays emitted by the UV LED Gel Nail Lamp in a process called "curing". In just 60 seconds, the once liquid gel turns into a hard coating under the spacious Gelous UV/LED Gel Nail Lamp. This light contains 30 premium dual wave LEDs that last up to 50,000 hours and operate at 48W, drying gel polish quickly, efficiently and safely.

Once cured, your Gelous Base Coat and Gelous Colour Coat layers will remain slightly tacky so that when you apply the following layer, it sticks to the layer below. Unlike your Base Coat and Colour Coat, your Top Coat layer will be hard, dry and perfectly cured once you have placed your nails under the Gel Nail Lamp for 60 seconds.

Gelous Gel Nail Polish and the Gelous UV/LED Gel Nail Lamp are designed to be totally compatible, with the UV LED Gel Nail Lamp operating at 365-405nm and the Gel Polish curing within this wavelength.
