I would try a 1/4 tsp of the powder in the bottle,mix and test for briteness. The v10 powder is not only brite it stays brite far longer than your basic glow in the dark paint or stick. Good luck I hope this helps:)

No I do not polish my nails first. Take off whet ever old polish you may have on your nails and start fresh. I polish my nail after I apply the tips. I like to use Essie brand polish. Color "sugar daddy or grow stonger" They have a little bit of a pink flesh hue. It makes my nails look more like a profesional manicure. Then a clear top coat. I love this product.

Make sure you are using a light coat. It comes out pretty thick so brush the brush off on the bottle. The thicker the coat the more your nails will chip. I paint my nails about every 3 days anyway, but this is the first top coat I have gotten to allow me to keep my fingers painted for more then 3 days if I wanted to keep them the same color without chipping. I know the frustration and of course not everything works for everyone, but the lighter the coat the better

This nail polish kit seems to work best when you use all the layers. I use foundation, a natural color and top coat for hardening my natural nail. I also use the PH nail bonding polish since it seems to peel off less. It may work with just the top coat, but make sure you have the UV or LED light to cure the polish.

I have heard that you can use Nonyx with nail polish - here's how: To clean nails apply Nonyx gel first (ideally with a soft brush so that it dries smooth). After the gel has dried completely (about 5 minutes) apply your polish. If possible, squeeze some Nonyx gel under nail tips daily, especially after bathing, After you remove your nail polish, wash nails well, then repeat the process, starting with Nonyx.

these stick! And when you place them on your nail, there is very little room for mistake. You place them on and smooth them down. Then you slightly wrap them over the nail edge, just such that they stick completely. You use the little file they provide to gently file off the excess polish. The shape of your nail does not matter. It is not a bad idea to leave the shaping and shortening of your nail until you finish with application, top coat, etc., even until the next day.

Hi I love this kit. You can get many uses from just one bottle. You apply thin coats. I'm on my third mani and still have a lot of polish left to do a couple more. Hope this helps

You should only put one coat of base clear,then pour under UV lite for two mins. Then for another two mins after each gel color coat n followed by top gel coat and last two mins under lite! You are putting you're nails under the lights too long and it's melting your polish instead of hardening it!!!

Yes, I usually use plan nail polish and then use this paint to make polka dots or any design for that matter. Also, I always put clear coat over it because it washes off when it comes in contact with water.

This depends entirely on your goals and level of wear-and-tear. I applied two coats at a time (it dries very quickly), or one coat over the top of a colored polish. Working at a desk job, I only had to repaint every week. More intensive household cleaning sometimes meant I needed to re-apply once or twice a week. Realistically, if you have the time or can remember to do so, you could probably paint your nails every day, one coat with each application. In other words, apply whenever you please.

not only must you have the base coat and the top coat but you also must have the uv light to dry it. I tried to dry without the light, will never dry. basic steps: use alcohol/soap to clean oils off of nails, apply base coat, apply color, uv light for 1.5 minutes, apply top coat, uv light for 1.5 minutes, then use alcohol to swab the nails or else it will look matte colored and be a bit gooey, done.

they sell (expensive) special nail polish which is thicker than regular nail polish. I buy regular polish, take the top off (be sure to really, really clean the brush & then put it in a ziplock baggie. Check the nail polish every day to see if it has thickened. Hot weather thickens polish faster than cold weather. Acrylic paint (the cheap stuff from WALMART) can also be used. Basically you just need to play with it. I learned how on YouTube there are tons of video tutorials to teach you how to use it. Hope this helps

Put the foundation first. Then color nail polish, then the therapy clean. No need to put basecoat. The foundation is thick enough to protect the nail and work as a base before the nail polish. Just make sure its completely dry before applying color. Hope this helps.

Make sure you cover the complete nail area with the primer. AND more important, make sure the coats are light ESPECIALLY near any skin surrounding the actual nail.

Hi Smoody, I can think of two reasons your nails are still sticky. Most likely, you skipped the part where you wipe off the remaining residue with the included gel cleanser. You can also use regular rubbing alcohol to wipe off the sticky stuff. That is how the polish is designed, otherwise the layer underneath should be hard and dry after curing.If not, it's possible that you put one of the layers on too thick so it didnt cure properly. Next time, try warming up the bottles in some warm water prior to application. This will thin out the polish for a smoother application.Hope that helps!
