Struggling to get that perfect polish application? Manicures can be tricky, which is why we are going through common manicure mistakes and our tips to avoid them in the future. Plus, see our tips for Gelie-Cure manicure application specifically.
Have you ever seen wrinkles or bubbles in your new manicure? If you have, chances are you applied your polish too thick. A little goes a long way when it comes to layering. So, the thinner your polish coats are, the better your manicure will look! We recommend waiting 2 minutes between each of your thin layers.
Are you noticing shrinkage in your polish after only a few days of your new manicure? If you are seeing fast tip wear, you may have applied your top coat too quickly, or you didn’t wrap the tip of your free edge with polish. To avoid tip wear or shrinkage, we recommend that you wrap the tip of your polish after every layer, and wait a full 2 minutes before applying your top coat.
If the Naked Gelie is sliding off your nail, too much serum has been used under the Gelie and it has not been fully rubbed into the nail. When using the Rescue Serum under the Repair Base and Naked Gelie, it’s important that you only use a pea sized amount for all 10 nails, dividing that amount equally on all 10 fingers. Rub from cuticle to tip and sidewall to sidewall until the serum is dry.
If you find large sections of your Gelie peeling, this means that the Naked Gelie was applied on your cuticle, sidewall or upper corner of the free edge. We recommend cleaning your nail with the orangewood stick provided in all Gelie-Cure kits prior to curing. Always double check your application before curing.
