This product is NOT for use over gel polish. It is for use over acrylic and gel. Which is different than gel polish! You must use a gel polish top coat for gel polish!

Im not a pro, don't think you are supposed to use it over gel polish. I did the same thing and it cracked on me as well. You need to use ibd just gel polish top coat to avoid this.

Make sure you are cleaning the entire nail area and that you are not putting too much gel polish on them.

Mine did the same a few times, i noticed if i apply it on the nail bed and afterwards the end/tip of the nail to seal it it helps. Also make sure you cure it long enough and nail polish is dry underneath. Hope that helps :)

I had the same problem! I had a UV lamp and even ended up buying a new LED lamp because of it! I eventually did some research and I found this out: cure your nails like usual, but at the end after the top coat has been cured, WIPE IT OFF WITH ALCOHOL to remove that sticky layer! Some suggested 99%, but I just used rubbing alcohol and my nails look EXACTLY how they should, nice and shiny and hard!Now I realize I didn't have to return the UV dryer, but oh well lol. Seriously, OPI needs to include some instructions, because that stickiness is terrible.

with reading other answers from nail techs, they say to use the lamp that is recommended by the product you use. I use a different Uv light than CND with my product. With glitter application it has not stayed well.

It has a cord. Before its cured, you can soak off the polish easily with acetone. If you want to take the gel polish off once its cured, you can cover your nails with a cotton with acetone and then wrapped with foil or aluminium paper and put your nails in the uv light for 1 minute

Gel manicures need to be cured under a uv or led lamp. Nails need to be soaked off in acetone. Top coat, color and base coat. All cured.

Yes, All OPI Gel polishes need to cure under a UV light. Depending on which UV light you have will depend on the cure time. 30 sec to 3 minutes per coat.

See that's another reason why i didn't like the product. Cure instructions wasn't clear.you will need a cure/uv light to dry yr nails because it's GEL polish.BUT it's not going to work i cured my nails for a total of 20 mins.all together it never dried and i have the best cure light on the market.just don't get this product. It dosn't cure properly it will never dry completely. Try another brand like BLUESKY or OPI.those brands are good i've used them both they work as a matter of fact when SALLY HANSEN.didn't work i got back on AMAZON and purchased BLUESKY.and it worked beautifully. I threw SALLY HANSEN.in the garbage. Waste of money See that's another reason why i didn't like the product.

45 seconds? If your using the light that came in the box the time varies from 1-2 minutes. Also, make sure u use the blue liquid once your done it helps harden your nails or you can use alcohol!

Unfortunately don't know & repeat other 2 ans...I apply over regular nail polish and/or on clean dry nails. There maybe a chemical reaction between gel & rejuvacote or the gel may act as a barrier to allow the rejuvacote to penetrate the nail??I would write to mfg. & ask.

hi,Cheryl I answered this question before but my answer was a little rough so I think Amazon decided not to post the answer so I'll make this one a little bit softer to see if they post it yes you do need a cure light because this is gel nail polish but theirs something wrong with it it will not dry / cure for whatever reason this product is not good do not purchase it I had a bad experience with it try another product such as bluesky or opi they are 100 good I've used them both do not purchase this product is not a good one

I do -- it's kind of cool, because I layer Quimica + gel base + gel color + gel top coat and then when it's been about 9-11 days the whole thing will just peel up. And because of the Quimica, *my* nail doesn't get weakened, as it can if you use gel alone.

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!

I'm not sure what you are referring to but...you will need an LED or UVA lamp to cure the gel. OPI suggest using an LED which decreases the amount of time under the light. I use my UVA light but I do increase the time to two minutes for each layer. I.d also suggest using bond aid before applying the base coat.

Yeah, all the nail polishes I have have instructions for both UV and LED usually it just says to put your nails under the lamp for 30-60 seconds instead of 2 minutes. The lamp beeps after 30 seconds and turns off after 60. I have some china glaze, OPI, Orly, Sally Hansen and Sensationail gel-nail polishes and they all work with this lamp.

Hello. Yes, with the Polish I have I have to wipe off the sticky stuff. But I'm not sure if that is due to the lamp or the polish. I have used both uv and led lamps and have the same outcome. I really like this lamp though. Since I got one I have been doing my own nails at home often!

this is powder that you mix with gel then you apply the gel glitter ( with a brush) over your nail tips and place your hand in the uv lamp then you apply gel top coat and cure again then wipe with alcohol it takes some practice watch it on you tube to see how it is done have fun hope this helped

I have a cheap/non-pro SensatioNail LED lamp and it works just fine with all brands of gelcolor polishes (orly, sensationail, etc.) - no need to adjust the curing time either (at least from my experience).
