I'm still learning but I believe you have to take the gel off. But it's a breeze to take the gel off. I tried a different gel than CND and hated it. It went on great but was horrible getting off.

I have never tried to touch up the growth plate. But remember, this is not gel...it is a cross between polish and gel. I don't think you will be happy with the results. But I could be wrong. I find if I follow the guidelines presented on the CND website..I really do have the best results.

In my experience you can do a touch up but you can end up with a crease where you have done the touch up. I think it best to remove the shellac and reapply.

I have never used the gelish nail strenghner but I just asked my salon sales clerk at Sallys and she replied No you don't the strengthener is between tips. So you put foundation 1-3 layers and then gelish top it off with half alcohol rub and half acetone and rub it off til it shines ( remember to cure in lamp after each application

Definitely, you see improvement from day one. I say give it about 2 weeks and you will see your skin start to smooth out.

Sparingly applied to a custom fitting, upper and lower, about two days. Non-custom fittings use up more gel, so I got the custom ones. Depending on gum sensitivity, user might be more comfortable with lower-strength gel, at least to start. Find product-specific YouTube clip and view making and use of trays. After watching YT clip, I carefully trimmed my fittings with cuticle scissors to keep them just above tooth contour, and wiped any excess from gums.

It burned the *expletive deleted* out of my face after about a minute. I left it in probably for about 3 minutes before I used baking soda to neutralize it. I would say do a test on your neck or something first because it was not my first peel I knew what to expect. What I do now is I only put it on areas that are uneven in tone or that have pimples and leave it for the full time (about 8-10 min) or as long as I can stand it LOL and then neutralize it. Follow up with a moisturizer for your skin type (I use pure argan oil from Morocco) and you're good to go! It is a pretty decent peel even if it burns a bit and it doesn't quite PEEL peel but you'll notice your skins clarity improves. Hope this helped!

I have not been cleaning the gel off and it works well still. After a couple of weeks the gel will turn into a glob which you can pull off and re-gel or just change your pads.

So far this is how I have done it with three self-manicures: base coat 2 mins, color layers 1 min each and 2 mins top coat. I did use the Gelish structure in a layer after the base coat and before the color in my last manicure and followed the Gelish recommendations of 2 minutes for that coat. So far, all are great and seem to set very firm as opposed to using the LED lamps I had before. I would add 30 seconds for each color layer using a darker color, advice I received from other gel at home users.

My his is just a gel polish kit. There is no filling... After the two weeks you remove the polish and then re do your nails. This kit comes with everything you need.

If you wait for the hair to grow out to like waxing length (2-3 +mm) first , then you probably wont have anything to worry about. I generally like to just do my stuff fllike once a week and don't notice anything. Idk if that helps but I hope it does.

Not if you don't leave it in for long. Shampoo & rinse. If you need more toning, leave it in longer next time. You could also just target the blonde tips. I also have two-toned hair, but because I'm growing in my natural color and sometimes I just treat the blonde tips so my natural white won't be blue. :D

I waited 2 weeks after the first use.Now I use it weekly. My skin feels amazing. My husband is jealous he now does it too.

Basically put a thin layer of the cream on (don't rub it in) and leave it for 5mins. If you need more time after trying a small area, then add a few minutes. Do NOT go past 10mins. I suggest using a timer or the timer on your phone so you're not leaving it too long.

My more minor ones are pretty much gone, my deeper ones seem a little smaller. I've only been using the cream for about a month now, so I figure over time the deeper ones will diminish completely :)

Tips only, though they are available with the nude overlay as well. Just apply a clear overcoat over the nail once the tips are applied. I follow up with Seche Vite topcoat after the clear coat of regular nail polish. If you don't the Seche Vite peels off rather quickly, not so once applied over polish. No gel light needed.

I agree with what the other people have written. I just want to add that gel polish makers are starting to put kits out for sale to remove the gel. It's the same stuff, just more convenient. Putting the cotton pads and foil on is the best method IMHO. I didn't have as much success with the acetone in a bowl

My understanding is that YES you can use regular polish; however, I have not tried it out. Regular polish behaves differently, doesn't last as long so I stick with gelish polishes so that I can go two weeks at a time!
