Onyx Evening

Around 14 days with proper application. Results vary with your nails and your routine. The key is clean, dry nails with no oil or residue before you apply.

The strips are semi-cured, so they're flexible and forgiving, and there's no brush and nothing wet to smudge. Your first set takes a little longer while you get the feel for it. After that, about 20 minutes.

Each sheet includes 14 strips in varied sizes, from pinky to thumb. Choose the size that sits just inside your skin line without touching it. If in doubt, go slightly smaller and file the edge clean.

Three reasons, all fixable: oil on the nail, a strip touching skin, or an edge that wasn't fully cured. Clean and dry each nail, pick a size that stays off the skin, and give each hand a full cure under the GeliQ lamp. Some lifting at the tip as your nail grows out is normal.

GeliQ skips the drill and the acetone soak, and you never sand your nail surface; you only file the strip's edge at the tip. To remove, work cuticle oil around the edges, wait a minute, then gently lift the edge with the flat end of the cuticle pusher. Never peel a strip off dry.

Yes. The GeliQ UV/LED lamp is matched to the strips and sets each nail in 60 seconds. It comes in the Starter Kit.

Keep uncured gel off your skin: pick a strip that doesn't touch it, and wipe away any gel that does before you cure. Use the nail oil only after your set is cured or on removal day. If you notice redness, itching or irritation, remove the set and stop using it.
