How To Give Yourself A Home Gel Manicure With SunUV

Whether it’s your first home gel creation or you’re looking for professional tips, SunUV has you covered for gel manicures and pedicures.

STEP 1

Prepare

Start by cleaning your nails and removing any existing polish with a gentle nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol.

Shape your nails and gently push back your cuticles so your gels will have room to shine.

STEP 2

Base

Apply a thin layer of your favorite gel base coat and cure it in your SunUV lamp according to the gel manufacturer’s instructions.

This creates a smooth foundation and enhances adhesion for your gel polish.

STEP 3

Color

Choose your desired gel polish color and apply it evenly before curing to avoid clumping and ensure a smooth, professional finish.

Use thin layers, curing between each, to set your color and lock in long-lasting wear.
