How to Use:

1. Prep the Nails: Begin by thoroughly cleansing the nails and removing any residual oils with a nail cleanser. Shape the nails and gently buff the surface to create an even base. Push back the cuticles and trim any excess skin.
2. Apply the Base Coat: Shake the OPI Gelcolor Stay Strong Base Coat well before use. Apply a thin, even layer to each nail, ensuring that you cap the free edge for maximum durability. Avoid flooding the cuticle area for a cleaner finish.
3. Cure the Base Coat: Place the nails under an LED lamp and cure for 30 seconds, or 1 minute under a UV lamp. Ensure all nails are evenly exposed to the light for a thorough cure.
4. Apply Gel Colour: Once the base coat is fully cured, proceed with your chosen OPI Gelcolor shade. Apply two thin layers, curing each layer under the LED or UV lamp.
5. Finish with Top Coat: Seal the look with an OPI Gelcolor Top Coat, curing it under the lamp. Wipe the nails with a nail cleanser to remove any tacky residue, revealing a high-gloss finish.
6. Moisturise: Complete the service by applying cuticle oil and moisturiser to nourish the nails and skin.
