Frequently Asked Questions
How to remove gel nail polish at home?
Start by gently filing the top layer of your gel polish to break the seal. Then, soak cotton balls in acetone, place them on your nails, and wrap each finger with foil to keep them in place. Wait 10–15 minutes before carefully pushing off the softened polish with a cuticle pusher. Finish by moisturizing your nails and cuticles.
Can you remove gel polish with a regular nail polish remover?
No, regular nail polish remover isn’t strong enough to break down gel polish. You’ll need acetone for proper removal.
How to apply gel nail polish?
- Prep your nails by shaping, buffing, and cleaning them thoroughly.
- Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure it under a UV or LED light.
- Add 1–2 coats of gel polish, curing after each layer.
- Finish with a gel top coat and cure. Don’t forget to wipe away the sticky residue with a cleanser or alcohol for a smooth finish.
What is gel nail polish?
Gel polish is a long-lasting nail color that cures under a UV or LED light. It’s known for its high-shine finish and staying power, often lasting up to three weeks without chipping.
Do you need an UV light for gel nail polish?
Yes, UV or LED light is typically required to cure gel polish and lock it in place. Some newer hybrid formulas air-dry, but traditional gel polishes need light for durability.
What is the difference between nail polish and gel nail polish?
Regular nail polish air-dries and typically lasts a few days before chipping. Gel polish, on the other hand, cures under UV/LED light and can last weeks with a chip-resistant, glossy finish.
