Gel Top Coats

A gel top coat is the finishing layer of your manicure. It helps seal and protect your gel color while adding extra shine and helping your manicure stay looking fresh for longer. Depending on the formula, a top coat can also add glitter, shimmer, iridescence or other special effects.
For an ultra-glossy finish, try our Gel Shine Top Coat.

Apply and dry your gel polish color as usual. Then apply a thin, even layer of gel top coat over the entire nail, making sure to cover the free edge. Dry it under your Le Mini Macaron LED lamp according to the recommended time for your lamp.

Both seal your manicure, but they create different finishes. A clear top coat such as our Gel Shine Top Coat adds an ultra-glossy finish without changing the color underneath. Special-effect top coats add visible effects such as glitter, pearl or iridescent shimmer, allowing you to transform your manicure in one extra layer.

Remove gel top coat together with the rest of your gel manicure. Start by gently filing the shiny surface until it looks matte, then apply acetone-based remover wraps for around 15 minutes. Once the gel has softened, gently remove it without peeling or forcing the product off.
