1. Prep your nails as usual - push back cuticles, buff shine off the surface of your nail, and shape your free edge.
2. Cleanse the nail plate with rubbing alcohol using a lint-free pad to remove all dust residue
3. Apply a thin coat of Base Gel over your entire nail, capping your free edge. Cure for 60 seconds in an LED lamp or 2 minutes in a UV lamp.
4. Apply a thin layer of your gel color, keeping your application even, and cap your free edge. Cure for 60 seconds for LED lamps, or 2 minutes for UV.
5. Repeat the color application until the desired opacity is reached.
6. Top coat your manicure using any of our 3 top coats: Diamond Gel Topcoat, No-Wipe Topcoat, or Matte Top Coat… Cure for 60 seconds for LED, or 2 minutes for UV.
7. Apply cuticle oil to help ensure a long-lasting manicure!

1. Use a file or buffer block to completely remove any shine from your old mani.
2. Fill the bottom of our Peppi Soaker with hot water, then clip on the upper part to cover.
3. Pour acetone into each divot -enough to fully cover each nail. Wait a few seconds to let the hot water warm up the acetone. (The warmer acetone is, the faster it will remove dip - do NOT heat up the acetone directly.)
4. Place your fingers in the soaker for 5-10 minutes. You can lightly scrape off the dip layers as it softens to help with the process.
5. Use a buffer block to gently remove any remaining residue on the nail.
