How to Apply Totally Gelly No Cure Top Coat
For best results, apply the top coat over fully dry nail polish. The formula is lamp-free and self-leveling, so you don't need any special tools.
- 1. Prep Your Nails: Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any oils or residue with nail polish remover or a gentle cleanser. This helps the top coat adhere evenly.
- 2. Apply Your Base Color: Apply your chosen nail polish (Lights Lacquer or another brand) in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. The top coat works best over fully dry polish.
- 3. Shake the Top Coat Well: Give the Totally Gelly bottle a gentle shake to mix the formula. This ensures the shine-enhancing ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 4. Apply a Thin, Even Layer: Using the brush, apply a thin, even layer of top coat over your dry color. Start at the base of the nail and stroke toward the tip. Avoid over-brushing, which can cause streaks. Cap the free edge (the tip of the nail) for extra protection.
- 5. Let It Dry Naturally: No lamp needed. Allow the top coat to air dry. It will self-level and cure to a high-gloss finish. Avoid touching or smudging for a few minutes.
Tips for a Flawless, Long-Lasting Finish
For the best shine and durability, make sure your base color is completely dry before applying the top coat. Even a slightly tacky layer can cause the top coat to drag or bubble. Apply the top coat in thin, even strokes—thick coats may take longer to dry and can appear uneven. Cap the tips of your nails to help prevent chipping. The formula is designed to be quick and hassle-free, so you can enjoy a salon-quality manicure in minutes.
