The Curing Process

Our Step-by-Step Process

Nail Prep & Dehydration

We begin by sanitizing, shaping, and lightly buffing your nails to ensure perfect gel adhesion and a long-lasting manicure.

Base Coat & Color

A thin layer of gel base coat is applied to protect your natural nail. Then, we apply 2-3 coats of your chosen gel color.

UV/LED Curing

Each layer of polish is cured under a UV or LED lamp for a short time. This process instantly hardens the gel, eliminating drying time.

Top Coat & Finish

A final gel top coat is applied and cured to seal the color, providing an incredibly durable, high-gloss shine that lasts for weeks.
