YOUR BEST MANICURE STARTS HERE

How to apply gel nail pens

Create a smooth, salon-style gel manicure at home in three steps: prep, paint and cure. The peel-off base is already built into the gel pen formula.

1

Prep your nails

Start with clean, dry nails. Shape the free edge, gently push back your cuticles and remove all oil and dust before you begin.

Pretty tip

Avoid hand cream and cuticle oil for at least one hour before application.

2

Paint your colour

Twist the gel pen until colour reaches the brush, then paint a thin, even layer from cuticle to tip without touching the skin.

Pretty tip

Thin layers cure more evenly and give you better control over the final colour.

3

Cure under the lamp

Cure the colour under the UV lamp until fully set. For a richer result, apply a second thin layer and cure again.

Pretty tip

Make sure every colour layer is completely cured before applying another one.
