If the plate is thin or bendy and the hands tend to sweat, apply an acid-free primer before the colour, and a base coat as well if you need it: on that kind of plate the mechanical adhesion of a single-phase formula may not be enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCuring time: 60...120 sec in an LED lamp. The time depends on the power of the lamp and on the diodes themselves, and has to be checked separately for each product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I prepare my nails for one step gel polish?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCuticle work down to a clean dry plate, shape, a 180 grit buff over the whole surface, dust off, degrease. Glow has no base coat under it, so the prep is the adhesion: everything a base would normally compensate for has to be done by hand here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich one step shades are hardest to apply evenly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale ones and shimmer ones, and Glow is both. A shimmer sits unevenly if the coat is dragged back and forth, so each stroke is laid once and left alone. The second coat is what evens out the density of the particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do glitter one step gel polishes perform?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe particles are part of the single-phase film, not a separate glitter layer, so the surface stays smooth and does not need a top coat to level it. Glow is stirred rather than shaken before use: shaking works air into the bottle and that shows up as bubbles in the coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does my one step gel polish look streaky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree usual causes: the coat is too thin to close the colour, the brush went back over gel that had already started to level, or the second coat went on before the first was fully cured. With Glow the second coat is the one that removes the streaking, so a thin even first coat is worth more than a careful thick one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour on screen may differ from the real shade of the product: monitor calibration and the display modes you have switched on both affect it.
