🛠️ The right materials
Before you start nail design, it is important to have the right materials. Here are the basic things you need:
- Nail lamp: A UV or LED lamp is essential to cure the gel.
- Gel Nail Tips: Choose the right size that fits your nail perfectly from side to side.

- Acetone: To remove gel nails when you want to change them.
- Nail files and buffers: To prepare the nails before application.
With these materials you are well equipped to do your gel nails.
🔍 Nail preparation
Preparing your nails is crucial for a good result. Here are the steps you should follow:
- Cut and shape your nails: Make sure they are the desired length and shape.
- Push back the cuticles: Use a cuticle remover to gently push back the cuticles.
- Roughen the nail surface: This ensures that the gel adheres better.
This preparation will help you achieve a professional result.
💡 Tips for use
When applying the gel, there are some important points you should keep in mind:
- Use thin layers: Start with a thin layer of gel to achieve an even result.
- Position the lamp correctly: Make sure your hand is well positioned under the lamp to cure the gel evenly.
- Apply the gel evenly: Be careful not to get the gel on the skin, as this can encourage flaking.

These tips will help you get the best results!
🎨 Color application and design
After the base is ready, you can start applying the paint. Here are some tips to create the perfect design:
- Choose your favorite colors: Experiment with different colors and designs to find your own style.
- Apply multiple coats: For a more intense color, you can apply multiple thin coats.

These simple steps will help you extend the life of your gel nails.
