Achieving salon-quality gel nails at home is simpler than you might think. First, gather your supplies: a UV/LED lamp, gel polish, base coat, top coat, and nail prep tools. Begin by prepping your nails—remove any old polish, shape your nails, and push back your cuticles. Apply a thin layer of base coat and cure under the lamp for 60 seconds. Next, apply your chosen gel polish in thin layers, curing each layer before applying the next. Finish with a top coat, cure again, and clean off any sticky residue. Voila! You’ve got beautiful gel nails right at home.
