Mastering the Art of Gel Nail Polish Application

As a professional nail artist and beauty expert, I understand the importance of achieving a flawless gel nail polish application. Gel nails have become a popular choice for their long-lasting wear, glossy finish, and eye-catching designs. However, applying gel polish correctly can be a delicate process that requires careful attention to detail. In this blog post, we'll explore the recommended approach for applying gel nail polish, and discover how Daring Lily's innovative press-on nails can provide a convenient and high-quality solution.

The Recommended Approach for Applying Gel Nail Polish

Applying gel nail polish requires a multi-step process to ensure a smooth, durable, and long-lasting finish. Here's the recommended approach:

  1. Prep the Nails: Begin by thoroughly cleaning and dehydrating the nails. This step is crucial to ensure the gel polish adheres properly. Use a nail file to gently buff the surface of the nails, removing any shine or irregularities.
  2. Apply the Base Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of a professional-grade gel base coat, curing it under a UV or LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Apply the Gel Polish: Carefully apply thin, even coats of the gel polish, curing each layer under the lamp before moving on to the next. Avoid overloading the brush, as this can lead to uneven application and bubbling.
  4. Finish with the Top Coat: Apply a generous layer of a gel top coat, curing it thoroughly under the lamp. This step seals in the color and provides a glossy, long-lasting finish.
  5. Properly Remove the Gel: When it's time to remove the gel polish, use an acetone-based remover and follow a gentle, salon-approved removal process to avoid damaging the natural nails.
