Why Use Normal Polish with Gel Top Coat?

Using normal polish with a gel top coat combines the best of both worlds. You get the ease of application of regular polish and the shine and longevity of a gel finish. It’s a simple way to extend your manicure's life and improve the look.

What You Need

Gather the following supplies:

  1. Normal nail polish of your choice
  2. Gel top coat
  3. Nail polish remover
  4. Nail file and buffer
  5. Base coat (optional)
  6. LED or UV lamp
  7. Cotton balls or pads
  8. Cuticle oil

Step-by-Step Application

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Prep Your Nails:

    Start with clean nails. Remove old polish using nail polish remover. Buff and file your nails for a smooth surface.

  2. Apply Base Coat (Optional):

    For added protection, apply a base coat. This step helps the polish adhere better and protects your nails.

  3. Add Normal Polish:

    Choose your favorite normal polish. Apply the first coat evenly. Wait until it dries completely.

  4. Second Coat:

    Add a second coat of the normal polish for a richer color. Let this layer dry as well.

  5. Apply Gel Top Coat:

    Now, it’s time for the gel top coat. Apply it evenly over the dried normal polish. Make sure to cover the edges of your nails.

  6. Curing:

    Place your nails under the LED or UV lamp. Follow the lamp’s instructions for the proper curing time. Usually, it's about 30 to 60 seconds.

  7. Finish Up:

    After curing, your nails will look shiny! Use a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol to remove any tacky residue from the gel top coat. This step is important for that perfect finish.

  8. Apply Cuticle Oil:

    Don’t forget to hydrate your nails and cuticles. Apply cuticle oil for a well-groomed look.
