HOW TO APPLY
STEP 1: PREP
- Clean nails with soap and water.
- Shape nails and push back cuticles using manicure stick.
- Lightly buff nail beds with a buffer to remove natural shine and create subtle texture.
- Wipe nails with alcohol to ensure nail beds are clear from oils/residue.
- Make sure nails are completely dry before application.
STEP 2 OPTION 1: APPLY ONE GEL
- Shake bottle well before use.
- Pick up a small amount of polish on the brush and apply one ultra-thin coat of gel to nails, starting from the middle of the nail bed. Using the One Gel Lamp*, cure the polish for 60 seconds.
- Apply a second coat of gel polish to nails, then cure.
- For desired opacity, apply a third coat.
PRO TIP: Curing results may vary if an LED lamp from another brand is used with One Gel.
STEP 2 OPTION 2: APPLY GEL
- Apply any gel base coat and gel color according to specific product instructions.
STEP 3 OPTION 1: APPLY ONE GEL TOP COAT
- Apply a thin coat of One Gel Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds using the One Gel Lamp.
STEP 3 OPTION 2: APPLY TOPCOAT
- Apply any gel topcoat and cure according to specific product instructions.
NOTE: Chrome powder will not adhere well if topcoat is not applied and cured properly.
STEP 4: APPLY CHROME
- Using the included powder applicator, firmly rub an ample amount of the powder all over the nail bed until there is an even chrome shine on the nail.
- Dust off any excess chrome powder.
STEP 5 OPTION 1: SEAL WITH ONE GEL TOP COAT
- Apply a thin layer of One Gel Top Coat over the chrome powder and cure for 60 seconds using the One Gel Lamp.
STEP 5 OPTION 2: SEAL WITH GEL TOPCOAT
- Apply a thin layer of gel topcoat over the chrome powder and cure according to specific directions.
PRO TIP: For optimal adhesion, avoid exposing nails to lotions, oils, or water for at least one hour after application.
HOW TO REMOVE
- Scratch the surface of the nail using a nail file until all shine is gone.
- Apply a thick layer of Magic Off on remaining gel polish, avoiding contact with skin.*
- Let product sit until gel polish starts to bubble into pieces (3 minutes).
- Gently scrape the gel polish off nails using a cuticle pusher.
- Repeat until all polish is removed.
PRO TIPS:
- Focus on cleaning your cuticles well before applying to achieve the smoothest look, as the chrome powder will exaggerate any bumps around the cuticle line.
- For the chrome finish to appear seamless, ensure gel polish is not pooling in any area of the nails before curing. An even coat of gel polish will help the polish last.
- If the powder is not sticking to your nail, press the applicator down extra firmly to ensure an even coat.
- To avoid any uncomfortable sensation around the skin, apply cuticle oil on the skin before using One Gel Magic Off.
