Good prep is the key to the longest-lasting gel manicure.

After shaping your nails with the clipper and nail file, apply Cuticle Remover all around your nail and massage in. Let sit for 5 minutes, then gently push back cuticles with the Cuticle Pusher, going gently to avoid scratching the natural nail.

Wipe away any cuticle residue, then gently buff the nail plate and any dry cuticle with the buffer.

Dip each nail in the Acetone Remover pot to remove any lingering dust or oil on the nail plate.

For extra prep, you can dip the Clean Up Brush in the Remover Pot and sweep all around the nail plate. Avoid water or touching your face, hair etc. to not introduce any oils to your nail plate. Now you're ready for Gel Base Coat!
