Q: Why does the Gel lift from my natural nail?
The most common reason for gel to lift from the free edge of the nail is that the gel has been applied too thin.
This happens because there is not enough curing agent on your nail therefore the application has no strength.

Other possible reasons for gel lifting:

A: 1) Forgot to apply Bonder on the natural nail
2) Did not remove all the natural oil from your nail plate
3) Did not cure the Gel for 2 minutes
5) Applied the Gel onto your skin/cuticles and did not remove it
6) Did not seal the free edge of the nail
7) UV Globe is old and need replacing. (replace every 6-12 months)


Q: Why does the Colour Gel not cure or wipe off afterwards?
A: 1) If you mixed too much pigment with too little One Step Gel the colour gel will not cure and wipe off

Q: Why is the Gel still sticky after it has been cures for 2 min.
A: The Gel will always be sticky after it has been cured. This does not mean that it hasn’t cured, it just means that you have to Sanitize to remove the stickiness. (It is not necessary to Sanitize between each layer, only the first layer)

Q: Why do my nails look dull after a couple of days?
A: You need to remove and re-apply the Top Coat once every week

Q: Is your Gel a Soak Off Gel or a Buff Gel? 
A: The One Step Gel is a soak off Gel but there is no need to soak our Gel every single time, as it does not yellow or lift. Personally on our own nails we never soak as filling is much easier for us, but we believe that you can Gel it anyway you like it.... if you prefer soaking that option is there for you to choose.

Q: What do I do with my excess Colour that I mixed? Can I store it or should I throw it away?
A: You can store it. We sell empty Gel pots for this very reason. But we suggest that you only mix enough for one overlay and not ten. If there is anything left over you can store it

Q: Do you give training?

Q: What is Gel?
A: Gel is a premixed monomer and polymer. It is a nail system that enhances you natural nails. It is durable, self levelling and natural looking

Q: Why does the Gel pull away from the sides before I cure?
A: If you have not Sanitized the first layer of One Step Gel the gel will pull away from the sides

Q: Can my UV Bulbs become inefficient overtime?
A: Yes
If the Gel does not cure, set in the time or lifts after a few days the UV Bulbs must be replaced. We suggest that you change your bulb every 6 months to a year depending on usage
