Gel Polish One Step Satin, 10 ml
SKU: 947151
Gel Polish One Step Satin, 10 ml by ReformA is a pink beige nude with a warm undertone and no shimmer. One step means base, colour and top are gathered in a single bottle: on a healthy plate Satin goes on with no separate base and no top coat.
Satin sits between the other two shimmer-free nudes of CLEAN GIRL: it has more pink in it than Naked and more depth than Lips. Two thin coats, each cured separately, a 10 ml bottle with a brush.

How to apply
- Do the manicure with a cuticle remover: place a drop on the cuticle, push it back and take off the pterygium down to a clean, dry plate.
- Go over the surface of the nail with a 180 grit file and remove the dust. A single-phase formula holds by mechanical adhesion, so this step is not skipped.
- Degrease the plate with Duo Prep and stop touching the nail with your fingers from this point on.
- Apply the first thin coat of Satin straight onto the plate, with no base. Keep the hand in the air and do not touch the underside of the free edge with the brush. Cure.
- Apply the second coat to the final result and cure.
- No top coat is needed: the finishing components are already in the Satin formula.
- Apply cuticle oil no earlier than 30 seconds after the last coat is cured.
On healthy nails Satin works with no base and no top coat, that is what one step technology is. 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.
Curing 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.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a cleanser or degreaser with one step gel polish?
Yes, and it is the step that decides whether the set survives. Satin is put on a plate that has been buffed, dusted off and degreased, and from that point the nail is not touched with fingers again. Skin oil left under a single-phase coating is the shortest route to lifting there is.
Do I have to cap the free edge with one step gel polish?
Yes, and it matters more here than in a three-phase system. There is no sacrificial top coat over Satin, so the edge of the coating is the working surface: if it is not sealed, wear starts exactly there.
Why does my one step gel polish lift at the cuticle?
Almost always because the product was taken too close to the skin or flooded into the cuticle fold. Satin is laid with a small gap from the cuticle, and any excess is corrected with a brush before curing, not after.
How close to the cuticle should one step gel polish go?
Close enough that no bare strip of plate shows, and no closer. A gap of a fraction of a millimetre is invisible on the hand and is what keeps the coating from catching the cuticle fold and lifting there in the first week.
The 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. If you have any doubt about the shade, get in touch and we will show you the colour in person.
