Note – Slightly thinner than our builder in a pot yet strong enough to be a builder gel. BOB soaks off; however, we recommend filing off the bulk of the product to reduce removal time. Base Coat must be applied and cured prior to application of BOB.

Please Note: This product’s current formula contains NO HEMA but has TPO.

We are in the process of transitioning our entire range to meet European cosmetic regulations, which means all future formulas will be HEMA-Free and TPO-Free. Once existing stock of this product has sold out, it will be replaced with the updated Euro formula.

In the meantime, this product is being offered at a discounted price to help clear existing stock more quickly. This does not mean the current formula is unsafe — it remains perfectly safe for use when applied according to our instructions.

GEL POLISH APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Shake Well
    Always shake or stir gel polish thoroughly before use to ensure even pigment distribution.
  2. Nail Preparation
    Shape the free edge using a natural nail file. Do not file the surface of the natural nail unless you’re addressing lifting issues. If filing is necessary, use a 240-grit (or finer) file and proceed very lightly to avoid damaging the nail.
  3. Cuticle Work
    Gently push back cuticles using a metal cuticle pusher and remove true cuticle from the nail plate.
  4. Cleanse the Nail
    Use Cleanser Plus or isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free wipe to thoroughly clean the nail plate of oils and debris.
  5. Dehydrate
    Apply Colour Me Pretty Nail Prep to dehydrate the nail, improving product adhesion.
  6. Prime (Optional)
    Apply a thin layer of Colour Me Pretty Primer, avoiding cuticles and skin. Allow to air dry for 30 seconds. Primer is optional but may assist with adhesion if lifting occurs.
  7. Apply Base Coat
    Apply a thin layer of Colour Me Pretty Base Coat, avoiding contact with skin and cuticles. If product touches skin, remove it immediately with a cuticle pusher or orangewood stick before curing.
  8. Cure Base Coat
    Cure under LED lamp for 30 seconds or UV lamp for 1 minute.
  9. Apply BOB (Optional)
    If using BOB for added strength, apply a thin coat now.
  10. Cure BOB
    Cure each BOB layer for 30 seconds (LED) or 1 minute (UV). Apply 2–3 coats as needed for desired thickness.
  11. Smooth the Surface (if needed)
    If BOB has created unevenness, remove the inhibition layer before lightly filing to smooth the surface.
  12. Apply Colour Coat – First Layer
    Apply a thin, even coat of colour, avoiding contact with the cuticles and skin. Let it self-level for a few seconds before curing.
  13. Cure Colour Coat
    Cure under LED lamp for 1 minute or UV lamp for 2 minutes.
  14. Apply Colour Coat – Second Layer
    Apply a second thin coat, taking the same care as above.
  15. Cure Colour Coat
    Cure again: 1 minute (LED) or 2 minutes (UV).
  16. Optional Third Coat
    Assess coverage. If needed, apply and cure a third coat as above.
  17. Apply Top Coat
    Apply a thin layer of Colour Me Pretty Top Coat, ensuring full coverage without touching skin or cuticles. Seal the free edge.
  18. Cure Top Coat
    Cure under LED lamp for 1 minute or UV lamp for 2 minutes.
  19. Remove Inhibition Layer (if needed)
    If you used a non “No Wipe” Top Coat, cleanse the tacky layer with Cleanser Plus and a lint-free wipe.
  20. Finish with Cuticle Oil
    Allow nails to cool for 30 seconds. Apply cuticle oil and massage into nails and surrounding skin.

Enjoy up to two weeks of strong, long-lasting, chip-resistant nails. 

GEL POLISH REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS

There are multiple methods for removing our Gel Polish and Builder Gel products. Your preferred method may vary, but for best results, always begin by filing the top layer of product to break the seal—this significantly speeds up removal. Please note that glitter shades and thicker applications may require more time to remove.

Important:
Avoid forceful scraping to protect the natural nail. Always be gentle during the removal process.

REMOVAL WRAP METHOD

  1. Gently file the top layer of the product to break the seal.
  2. Tear the perforated end off the removal wrap.
  3. Place the pre-soaked wrap over the nail and secure it using the adhesive strip.
  4. Optional: Apply a warm heat pack over the fingertips to accelerate the process.
  5. After 10 minutes, check one nail. Use a cuticle pusher or orangewood stick to gently lift the softened product. If resistance is felt, rewrap and soak for an additional 5 minutes as needed.

FOIL WRAP METHOD

  1. Cut foil into squares large enough to wrap around each fingertip.
  2. Soak a cotton ball in acetone and place it directly on the nail.
  3. Wrap the nail and cotton ball tightly with foil to hold in place.
  4. Optional: Apply a warm heat pack over the fingertips to speed up the process.
  5. After 10 minutes, check one nail. Gently push off the softened product with a cuticle pusher or orangewood stick. If the product does not lift easily, rewrap and soak in 5-minute intervals until removal is complete

Helpful Tips for Gel Polish Users

Preparation is Key
Proper nail prep is essential for a successful gel manicure. With thorough preparation, you can expect up to two weeks of wear.

Allergy & Sensitivity Warning
Always check the ingredients of each product before use. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend performing a patch test prior to your first application.

UV Sensitivity
Individuals who are photosensitive may experience skin reactions from UV lamps. LED lamps are generally considered safer in this regard. If you have concerns, consult a healthcare professional before use.

Thin Layers Are Best
Apply all coats thinly to ensure proper curing and prevent wrinkling. You can always apply an additional coat if needed.

Shake Before Use
Shake or stir each bottle for at least 10 seconds before application to ensure even pigment and formula distribution.

Correcting Mistakes
If you’re unhappy with a coat before curing, simply wipe it off and reapply. This will not affect previous cured layers.

Protect Your Manicure
Certain cleaning products can weaken or break down gel polish. Always wear gloves when cleaning or washing dishes.

Nail Health First
Do not apply gel polish over damaged, infected, or wounded nails. If your nails are compromised, consult a healthcare professional before application.

Do Not File After Top Coat
Filing the nail after the top coat has been cured will break the seal and may lead to lifting or peeling.

Storage
Store your Gel Polish bottles upright, away from direct sunlight and heat to keep the product in perfect condition.

Curing
Ensure you are using the correct lamp and curing times recommended for your product to avoid under-curing.

General Nail Care
Treat your nails with care—they’re jewels, not tools. Avoid using them to open or pry objects to prolong your manicure.
Avoid soaking your nails in hot water (like baths or spas) immediately after application, as it can affect adhesion.
