Tips for the Perfect Manicure

If you want to create the perfect mani at home, start with clean, prepped nails. Apply a thin base coat and cure under your LED lamp. Follow with two thin coats of colour, curing between each layer. Finish with a top coat and cure one final time. For best results, avoid applying the product to the skin or cuticle area.

FAQs

How many coats of gel polish should I apply?

We recommend starting with a base coat and then applying two thin coats of colour for even, long-lasting coverage. Cure each layer under an LED lamp as you go and finish with a top coat for chip-free wear.

Do I need to use a base and top coat with Opallac gel polish?

Yes. Using a base coat and a top coat is essential for adhesion, long-lasting durability and shine. It helps your manicure last up to two weeks and makes it chip-resistant.

How do I choose the right gel polish colour for my skin tone?

There’s no 100% right colour for each person. Enjoy playing around with colours that make you feel good. But if you want some beginner guidelines on picking colours, neutrals and soft pinks tend to work well with most skin tones. 

If you love a splash of bold colour, try bright shades on darker skin and darker shades on lighter skin. But no matter what your skin colour, feel free to experiment with sparkly shades and colours you love. With over 100 gel nail polish colours available, there’s something for everyone!

Are Opallac gel polishes compatible with all UV/LED lamps?

Yes. Our gel polish is compatible with most standard UV/LED lamps. However, we recommend using the Opallac LED Lamp or other LED lamps rather than UV lamps. LED lamps are designed for faster, better and safer curing at home.

How long does it take for the polish to cure under the lamp?

Each coat cures in 90 seconds under an LED lamp. Make sure you follow the curing times recommended for your lamp though, to avoid under-curing or over-curing.
