How To Use

PREP

Pro Tip! Do not soak hands or wet them before or during your prep. Dry nails are crucial for proper adhesion.

  1. Shape nails using the Shape Up side of the file in your Gel Essentials Kit or a regular nail file.
  2. Gently push back cuticles from your nail plate using the wood cuticle pusher in your kit or any regular pusher.
  3. Lightly buff with the Shape Up side of your 240 grit file from your kit or any regular nail file to remove the shine from your nails. Think gentle exfoliation, not construction work!
  4. Wipe your nails with the Prep Pad from your kit or 99% Isopropyl Alcohol on a lint-free wipe--not cotton balls which can leave debris that'll mess with your gel finish. This removes debris and oil, and temporarily dehydrates your nails, creating the perfect foundation for strong adhesion.

Pro Tip! Do not apply any hand creams or oils until AFTER your top coat is cured.

APPLICATION

Pro Tip! Do one hand at a time and keep coats THIN. We're not frosting a cake. Most importantly, keep gel OFF skin.

  1. Set up your lamp. Using dry hands, plug the included USB cable into a standard USB wall charger and connect it to a wall outlet, or plug it into a laptop.
  2. Shake ALL your bottles really well for 30 seconds to blend the ingredients together.
  3. GELement Base Coat: Start by painting the free edge, then apply a THIN coat down the center, followed by each side. Make sure you avoid getting gel on your cuticles and skin by leaving a small space around the perimeter of the nail.
  4. Cure: Insert 4 fingers all the way into your lamp. Hit the button and wait 60 seconds for the light to turn off. Then your thumb gets its solo moment for another 60 seconds.
  5. Color: Start by painting the free edge, then apply a THIN coat down the center, followed by each side. Keep away from skin!
  6. Cure: Insert 4 fingers all the way into your lamp. Hit the button and wait 60 seconds for the light to turn off. Then your thumb gets its solo moment for another 60 seconds.
  7. Repeat steps 5-6 for a second coat.
  8. GELement No-Wipe Top Coat: Start by painting the free edge, then apply a THIN coat down the center, followed by each side. Keep away from skin!
  9. Cure: Insert 4 fingers all the way into your lamp. Hit the button and wait 60 seconds for the light to turn off. Then your thumb gets its solo moment for another 60 seconds.
  10. Show those nails some love with Glow Up Nail & Cuticle Oil! Just a drop at each cuticle line will help moisturize your skin. For full tutorials and tips and tricks on how to prep, apply, and remove your gel, head to YouTube to watch GELiversity.

Works as expected, maybe even a little better

Note, this product was gifted to me, but it's a honest review. This is a really nice, high quality gel manicure DIY set. The finished manicure is the same, or better than, salon quality. What I liked better about it is that I could apply it extremely thin. Sometimes when I get gel, it looks like a t...

I'm so pleased with this purchase. I've been able to do my nails about 3 times in the past 3 weeks of having this kit. It's cut down my overall spending for getting my nails done. It also takes less than half the time of going to the salon. I would suggest this for anyone who's looking for gel nails on a budget. it takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. it's unbeatable.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Thanks Opi for the free GELement Starter Kit. If you are looking for salon-style gel nails at home, this is your sign to buy this kit. I've been using the product for more than a week now and can definitely recommend it to get the perfect at-home gel manicure in less than 15 minutes. Finally found this kit that gets me a glossy, long-lasting finish every time I use it and look very professional (which I am not😊). The instructions were super easy to follow and very beginner friendly. I give it a 20/10.

I have tried twice now and the polish just peels off whole from each nail. I followed instructions to the letter so will be returning.

So excited to try this kit! I've always wanted to do my own at home manis. The set is easy to use and I love the color it came with as well. If you're familiar with gel manis this process will be familiar to you

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
