Shape your nails to your desired style with a natural nail filer (150 grit or higher) Step 3. Prepare the natural nail by gently removing the shine using a buffer; lightly buff it to rough up the nail beds Step 4. Remove the oils and dust from your nail by using a nail cleanser OPI Gelcolor Application Step 5.

Place your hand in an LED Lamp and cure for 10 seconds or UV Lamp and cure for 1 minute. The top coat will remain tacky/sticky, but this is normal for any soak-off gel polish. Step 7. (Roll the GelColor bottle in your hands to mix the contents) Apply a thin, even layer of GelColor Color coat to your nail. Don’t forget to cap the nail edges to create a seal.
