6. Repeat-paint and cure each nail one at a time.  

7. Finish with cuticle oil for hydrated hands and nails.

Proper preparation and application are key to achieving a long-lasting, professional finish with gel polish. Ensure nails are clean and dry and apply gel nail polish as directed cure each layer under the LED light. For an extra shiny, long-lasting professional finish, top your mani with our Gel Shine Top Coat for 3x the shine and extend your gel manicure for up to 2-3 weeks.

To remove gel nail polish safely and effectively, gently file the top layer to break the seal. Soak cotton balls in acetone or use our Gel Polish Remover Wraps, place them on each nail, and wrap them with foil. Leave for 15 minutes, then use a cuticle remover or gel polish remover stick to gently push off the loosened polish. Finish by moisturizing nails and cuticles to prevent dryness.

Protect your nails and skin duringgel nail polish application by using cuticle oil. Apply it to the cuticles and surrounding skin before starting. This helps prevent dryness and irritation from acetone and polish chemicals. Regular use of cuticle oil keeps your nails and skin hydrated, ensuring a healthy, polished look.

Advances in gel nail polish formulas include improved durability, faster curing times, and enhanced flexibility, reducing the risk of chipping. Newer formulas, like Le Mini Macaron gel nail polish, also offer enriched ingredients for nail health, vibrant, long-lasting colors, and easier removal processes. These innovations ensure a salon-quality finish that lasts longer while being gentler on nails.

Gel nail polish differs from regular nail polish formulation and durability. Gel polish requires curing under a UV or LED light, for a longer-lasting, chip-resistant finish. Our light is LED (not UV) so it dries quicker and also doesn’t contain UV rays. Regular nail polish air-dries and typically lasts about a week before chipping while gel can last for up to two or even three weeks.

Gel polish can be good for your nails if applied and removed correctly. It offers a long-lasting, chip-resistant finish and protects your nails from breaking. However, improper removal or frequent use can cause nail damage or weakening. Always follow proper application and removal techniques, and keep nails hydrated with cuticle oil. If you want to give your nails a break between manis, try Rescue-Moi, our after-gel nail recovery treatment.

Yes, gel nail polish requires a UV or LED light to cure and harden properly. The light activates the gel polish for a long-lasting finish. UV lights typically take 2-3 minutes per coat, while LED lights, like the Le Mini Macaron lamps, are faster, curing each coat in 30-60 seconds. This process is essential for achieving a salon-quality manicure. Our LED lamps can be used for both manis and pedis.

Le Mini Macaron´s gel polish typically lasts up to two weeks on nails without chipping or peeling. Please note that the longevity depends on proper application, curing, and aftercare. With good maintenance, including moisturizing cuticles and avoiding harsh chemicals, gel nail polish can maintain a glossy, flawless appearance for the full duration. Remember, practice makes perfect!
