Project title 1
Whether you're in a salon or doing it yourself at home, the standard gel manicure process is pretty simple: Prep the nails and cuticles, apply a base coat, two coats of polish, and a topcoat. The only difference is that you'll need to "cure" each layer of polish under a UV lamp until it hardens (usually somewhere around 60 seconds). You'll also need to swipe your freshly manicured nails with some alcohol to remove the sticky layer of moisture that rises to the top while during the curing process.
