However, with a UV lamp, it will take 2 - 3 minutes to cure. Check out the latest LED lamp for faster curing.</p>

• How do I use OPI gelcolor polish? The gelcolor application process is very similar to the other soak-off gel polishes. This is how you do it: Preparation
• Step 1: Prepare the nail by using an orangewood stick to push the cuticles back for a clean application of gel
• Step 2: Shape your nails to your style with a natural nail filer (150 grit or higher)
• Step 3: Prepare the natural nail by gently removing the shine using a buffer. Lightly buff it to rough up the nail beds
• Step 4: Remove the oils and dust on your nail by using the nail cleanser OPI gelcolor application
• Step 5: (Roll the gelcolor bottle in your hands to mix the contents) apply a thin even layer of gelcolor base coat onto your nail
• Step 6: Place your hand in an LED lamp and cure for 10 seconds or UV lamp and cure for 1 minute. The top coat will remain tacky/sticky, but this is normal for any soak-off gel polish
• Step 7: Apply a thin even layer of gelcolor color coat to your nail. Don't forget to cap the nail edges to create a seal. Make sure you remove any gelcolor from the skin prior to curing
• Step 8: Place your hand in a LED lamp and cure for 20 seconds or a UV lamp and cure for 2 minutes
• Step 9: Apply a second coat of gelcolor color to the nail
• Step 10: Place your hand in an LED lamp and cure for 20 seconds or a UV lamp and cure for 2 minutes
• Step 11: Apply a thin even layer of gelcolor top coat onto your nail. The top coat creates a high shine while protecting the gel layers below it from damage. Don't forget to cap the nail edges to create a seal
• Step 12: Place your hand in an LED lamp and cure for 20 seconds or a UV lamp and cure for 2 minutes
• Step 13: Use a liberal amount of alcohol (99%) or gel cleanser with a lint-free pad to remove the tacky/sticky residue from your nail
