Basic Gel Polish Directions (Arch Rival Nails)
Prep:
Start with clean, dry nails. Push back cuticles and remove shine from the nail plate with a gentle buffer. Wipe away dust, don’t skip this.
Base Coat:
Apply a thin layer of Arch Rival Nails base coat of your choice. Cure under the Arch Rival Nails lamp for 30 seconds..
Color:
Apply a thin layer of Arch Rival Nails gel polish color. Cure under the Arch Rival Nails lamp for 60 seconds. Repeat for a second coat, curing each layer.
Top Coat:
Apply a thin layer of Arch Rival Nails top coat of choice. Cure under the Arch Rival Nails lamp for 30 seconds.
Finish:
wash hands with soap and water then wipe with 70^ or greater isopropyl alcohol until it squeaks.
Removal:
File the top coat to break the seal. Soak a cotton pad with pure acetone, place on the nail, and wrap with foil. Wait 10-15 minutes. Push off softened gel with an orangewood stick—never scrape. Buff, wash, oil, done.
Always use Arch Rival Nails products and lamp for best results. Anything else? Don’t blame us if it doesn’t work.
