TRAINING MANUAL - UV Gel Nail Polish

Frequently Asked Questions
10. Because Gel does not have an odour does this mean it is safer than acrylic?
No, Gels are not meant to touch soft tissue, the same as acrylics. Follow application guidelines. –
11. Should clients take gels off to let natural nails breathe after a while?
No, there is no scientific evidence to suggest a nail needs to ‘breathe’.
12. Why do I sometimes have a problem curing the manicure?
There are a few reasons why you may experience difficulty in curing:
• Each application must very thin. Many times the application is too thick and
experience curing issues. It is always better to apply product sparingly.
• Check your UV lamp, make sure it is in good working order. The longer you use
the lamp, the more power it loses and dramatically effects curing times.
For best results change light bulbs every 3-4 months.
13. Why do I sometimes experience difficulty removing the gels?
The longer you have the gels on the nail, the longer they will take to remove. A GELeration
manicure of 2 weeks will remove faster than a gel manicure on for 4 weeks. It is also very important
to break the seal. If the seal is not filed enough, the gels will not remove easily.
14. Can I fill my gel colour with another bottle of the same colour.
We do not recommend this.
15. Can we polish over the gel manicure with JESSICA CUSTOM COLOUR?
Yes. If your client’s nail grows quickly, they could apply a coat of the matching JESSICA CUSTOM
COLOUR followed by BRILLIANCE to extend the life of the GELeration Manicure.
