How to Apply Pocket Salon One Step Gel

Step 1: Prepare Your Nails

• Wash and dry your hands.
• Gently push back your cuticles.
• Lightly buff the natural nail surface to remove shine.
• Clean the nail with an alcohol wipe or suitable nail cleanser to remove oil and dust.

Proper nail preparation helps achieve an even application and longer-lasting wear.

Step 2: Apply the Gel

Apply a thin, even coat of Pocket Salon One Step Gel.

Avoid contact with your skin and cuticles.

Tip: Apply thin coats for an even finish and proper UV/LED lamp exposure.

Step 3: Place Under a UV/LED Lamp

Place your nails under a compatible UV/LED nail lamp.

• Light and medium shades: 60 seconds.
• Dark or highly pigmented shades: 90 seconds.

Follow the recommended product and lamp instructions. Apply thin coats and expose each coat separately.

Step 4: Apply a Second Coat

For richer colour and more even coverage, apply a second thin coat.

Repeat the UV/LED lamp process:

• Light and medium shades: 60 seconds.
• Dark or highly pigmented shades: 90 seconds.

Step 5: Complete Your Manicure

Your manicure is ready!

No separate primer, base coat or top coat is required. An additional top coat can be applied if desired, provided it is compatible with the product.

Pro Tips for Longer Wear

• Start with clean, dry nails.
• Remove oil and dust before application.
• Apply thin, even coats.
• Avoid contact with skin and cuticles.
• Cap the free edge of each nail where appropriate.
