For One Gel solid colors, each layer applied should be thin. One layer will provide you with a full, flawless coverage, however you may apply a second coat if you desire extra opacity. When using One Gel Magnetic, be sure to only apply one layer, thicker than you would for color, before activating the effects with the magnet tool.

No, all One Gel Products must be cured with the One Gel lamp, as any lesser wattage will not fully cure the gel, leaving the polish dull and gummy.

Blot a thick layer of our NEW One Gel Magic Off onto nails. After 3 minutes, the remover will begin activating, however you may experience best results by waiting 5-7 minutes. Once gel begins to bubble off, use the included tool to push gel off nails. Repeat until all gel is removed.

For removal, please note that One Gel is only compatible with our One Gel Magic Off. Magic Off+ is not designed to remove One Gel and may cause further damage if paired with the attempt to force polish off nails.

If you’ve applied our Gel Top Coat over One Gel, be sure to buff the surface of your nails to disrupt the outer layer, allowing Magic Off to reach and remove the gel polish.

Experiencing a slight tingling sensation while using Magic Off is normal! If this feeling becomes too uncomfortable, run your nails under cold water and wipe the remaining product off your skin. Avoid contact with the cuticle & surrounding skin, focusing the remover exclusively on your nail beds to prevent any reaction.

All One Gel polishes do currently contain HEMA, however, we are working to develop a HEMA-free version in the future!

If you’re experiencing premature chipping, be sure to cap your free edge to help seal the edges of your manicure/pedicure. For a visual of how to do so, see the following tutorial.

Yes! You can, but you definitely don't need to. We created this top coat to enhance the shine and durability of all our products, allowing you to achieve the best & longest-wearing mani/pedi possible!

That tool is a dual-sided cuticle pusher/gel remover. The curved end is meant to push back outgrown cuticles, while the sharper end can be used to remove the bits of gel that need a little extra push.

This is a 10W lamp, so it’s very important that you use it to cure One Gel. Any lesser wattage will not fully cure your mani and it will soon become a mess!

Yes! The One Gel LED Lamp is compatible with both GLAZE and One Gel products.

There are multiple ways to use it, actually. We can show you easier than we can tell you, so check out these tutorials to see how it's done!

Because Glaze is an all-in-one product, no additional base coat, nail strengthener or top coat is needed. Should you decide to wear an additional product with Glaze, we cannot guarantee lasting results.

If you’re in between sizes, size down! It’s always better to use a strip that is slightly too small, than too big. If there is any overlap on the skin along the sides or cuticle line, there may be lifting.

Yes! You can reposition the strip if needed, but we recommend minimizing the number of attempts. If you feel the adhesive is weaker after repositioning, it's best to use a new strip for optimal results.

Glaze only requires 1 cure for 45 seconds.

If you notice any discomfort during curing, this may indicate a thinning or weakened nail bed. Remove your hand for a moment, and then replace to finish curing.

Glaze should be trimmed to the exact length of your natural nail prior to curing—please make sure the strip is not extending beyond your nail length, as this can cause lifting and chipping. After curing, take care to file off any remaining excess so that the strip is completely flush to your natural nail.

Tip 1: Before use, clean the cuticle line neatly. This step is important, as dead skin is a main cause of premature lifting, and hair getting caught. Carefully push back the cuticles and optionally remove your cuticles by trimming with a cuticle nipper or gently buffing them away with the included file. Then, ensure the nails are clear from oils and residue by wiping down with the included prep pad.

Tip 2: Press down all around the cuticle area and entire nail surface using the included manicure stick. Then, press and smooth the entire nail surface with your finger, making sure there is no gap between Glaze and your nail.

To remove Glaze, apply cuticle oil (such as our Magic Off+ Remover) to the base of the nail. Using a manicure stick, gently and slowly lift the nail strip from the corner of the cuticle area. Saturate the nail with additional oil to help loosen the adhesive. After a few moments, gently and slowly lift off the Glaze from your nail by pushing from the cuticle line toward the tip of the nail with the manicure stick. Do not rush! If you feel any tension, apply more oil, and allow more time for the adhesive to dissolve.

Use our Red Therapy line to treat your nails! Make sure to also regularly moisturize your hands and nails with lotion and oils.

Before curing your nails, make sure your leftover strips are placed in the black carton in order to prevent premature nail curing if exposed to LED lamp light. Glaze will stay fresh for 12 months after being opened! 

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, and use the included Prep Pad to remove any oils from your nails. Make sure you completely push back your cuticles as well.

No base coat is necessary, as our nails adhere best to bare nails! If you’re worried about nail damage caused by improper removal, we recommend applying our Base Seal for Gloss. You can use your favorite top coat to seal it in but, we promise, the finish is so shiny, you won’t need to!

Yes! You can reposition the strip if needed, but we recommend minimizing the number of attempts. If you feel the adhesive is weaker after repositioning, it's best to use a new strip for optimal results.

If you’re in between sizes, size down! It’s always better to use a strip that is slightly too small, than too big. If there is any overlap on the skin along the sides or cuticle line, there may be lifting.

Unfortunately, nails that are on the curvier side are more susceptible to wrinkling. To minimize this, firmly press on the strips from the center outwards when applying.  Wrinkling can also occur if you’re using a strip that’s too wide for your nail. The material is likely bunching up instead of being stretched out across the width of the nail bed. Try sizing down! Also, please make sure you are not using back-and-forth motions when filing.

You can be up and about as soon as they’re on! Just make sure you stay away from water, lotion, and oils for a few hours after application.

First, apply an ample amount of Magic Off+ Remover. After peeling off a corner along the cuticle line, gently roll the strips off. Don’t rush with this! It helps to apply additional Magic Off+ to the fingers you’re using to roll the strips off as well. The more lubrication, the better!

Don’t expose your nails to household cleansers or harsh chemicals! Nails are more permeable than skin. Even prolonged exposure to water can dry out your nails and hands. Always wear gloves when cleaning, and apply hand lotion after you wash or wet your hands. Just make sure to stay away from water and lotion for a couple of hours after Gloss application.

We recommend waiting a few days in between sets to give your nails some time to breathe. Applying a new set right away without taking a break may affect adhesion.

Gloss should stay fresh for a year after being opened! Pop them in an airtight container to be extra safe.

If not otherwise indicated, it is safe to assume that the set is medium length!

Push back your cuticles with the manicure stick provided and wipe your nails with the included Prep Pad. Prep makes a huge difference!

No base coat is necessary, but we recommend applying our Base Shield for Magic Press. It contains velvet powder particles that smooth out the surface of your nails to prolong the wear of Magic Press. It also protects your nails from damage caused by hasty removal.

Magic Press already comes with an adhesive on the back, so there is no need for glue, but if you want longer wear than 7 days—you can use glue!

If you’re in between sizes, size down! If the nail exceeds the width of your nail bed, it will lift along the sides.

Unlike real nail polish, there is no wait or cure time for these! Just make sure you refrain from touching water, oils, or lotion for a few hours after application. It’s best to apply the nails before you go to bed, so that they can fully set overnight!

We recommend snuggling in the nails as close to the cuticle line as possible. This should prevent a gap from forming!

Thoroughly wipe your nails with the included Prep Pad, and wait until they are completely dry before applying Magic Press. Make sure you are not applying the nails upside down! The handle with the imprinted size number should be towards the cuticle line, and not the other way around. There are some people with naturally oilier nail beds, so that may affect adhesion as well.

No, they are made for one-time use only. Once Magic Press is removed, the adhesive on the back no longer sticks to your natural nails.

Apply an ample amount of Magic Off+ Remover along the cuticle, and gently push the nail off with the included manicure stick. Don’t rush with this! It helps to dip the stick in oil as well.

Please avoid water, lotion, and oils for a few hours after application. Moreover, while our nails are durable, we always recommend taking care while having them on (i.e., wearing gloves while doing dishes, etc.). It’s also a good idea to press on the nails several times a day for 72 hours from application. The nails have a pressure sensitive adhesive, so the more you press, the better they stick!

This process could have a learning curve for sure! But the perfect amount of glue is dependent on the size of your nail bed.  

PRO TIPS

• Apply glue to the bottom 1/3 of the pre-buffed area of the nail, a little bit above the cuticle edge 
• Do not press so hard when applying the nail tip; stop right when the glue reaches your natural nail edge.  
• If the glue does not cover your entire nail bed or you see bubbles, take off the nail and apply more before curing.  

Clear nails only need 60 seconds to cure, but the sheer design nails must be cured at least 2x. If you feel you used a thick layer of glue with a clear nail tip, we recommend curing twice to make sure the glue is fully hardened all the way through.

No. The GelXtend soft gel glue is specially formulated to work with the GelXtend clear nail tips & pre-designed nails in the GelXtend product line.

No. Our product works best when you hold/press the nail for the full 60 seconds to ensure the best adhesion and long-lasting wear.

For the clear nails, absolutely! For our pre-designed nails, be cautious not to chip away at the nail design; it might cause the gel layers to become exposed and wear away. If you are between sizes and do not want to trim the larger size, size down.

We recommend getting a new nail from your set. However, if it is a pre-designed set and you are able to remove the glue from the artificial nail, you can re-use it. All nails are technically made for one-time use. 

The glue cannot be stored in conditions below 32° F, but not to worry; just let your glue sit in a cup of warm water until it softens back to normal!

Apply a layer of the included glue onto your natural nail bed, and along the cuticle area of the glue-on nail as well. Then, gently press on the nail. Keep pressure applied for 10-30 seconds to ensure that they fully adhere. Make sure to apply an ample amount of glue, or else air bubbles may form underneath!

No worries! Simply use a cotton swab to wipe away the excess glue.

Trim the gel nails and buff the surface to remove the protective top coat. Soak the nails in acetone for about 10 minutes until they are soft, and wipe away the nails and glue.

As long as they are removed properly, your nails should not get damaged. They should never be forced off or popped off from your natural nails.

Prep your nails first, apply Base Seal for Gloss or Base Shield for Magic Press, and then apply your nails! Make sure you fully dry your nails in between each step.

This can happen if your nails are not completely clean or dry before applying Red Therapy. If you wash and dry your hands completely, and apply one more layer, it will disappear!
