Directions on the bottle says reapply in 2 days. Are you supposed to remove the polish then reapply or just put another coat on in 2 days?

I reapply every 2 days for a week, then I remove all the polish and start over again.

I have always just taken everything off my nail and apply new coats of everything. Also, when I don't have time for all that or my nails are barely growing I only apply the triple strong makes the process easier and faster. Also I do twice a week instead of every two days.

Take the polish off and reapply it. I think what had happened to me was that I left it longer than 2 days and my nails started to break

I just put another coat on and then in about a week removed and then started over :) still love it

And, i would folliw the direction to the "t" by sanding the first coat then applying the second coat which will protect it indefinitely. For a nice finish apply twice after your first application! ! :)

if your nail polish isn't old try applying a thin coat 1st. I usually do 3-4 coats. if I do a think coat it always looks like they were touched before they dried. I'm not a big fan of these nails. I will use them bc I already bought them but I wont be buying any more.

I'm sorry, Suzanne, I really don't know the answer to that...but I will say I've found very little it won't take out....is it liquid polish or cream? I wouldn't scrub or rub it because you might just smear the polish...but you could wet it first...then either use the Quick N Brite as a paste or diluted as a liquid (remember you can put it in water and put it in the microwave to melt it and make it inot liquid) and pile it on good and sort of daub it in...let it sit awhile and then try blotting it with a rag to try to take the polish out. Sure can't hurt, can it? LOL Hope it works for you!

I'm not a great expert but the instructions on the base coat bottle says to cure one minute, polish (twice) for one minute each and 2 minutes for the top coat. Other instructions I have seen suggest only 30 seconds for each stage. I have a large clock with a second hand on it nearby, set the light for several minutes and then just pull my hands out when the time is done. It is hard to get it exact. I noticed in the salons they don't seem to keep exact time either! My biggest problem is keeping the stuff off the edge of my nails and getting it on my fingers when applying to the nails. It doesn't take much to make it look really messy.

I let the first coat dry 24 hours then put on the second coat. I then let in dry for 48 hours before using. It probably dried quicker but I really didn't put a time in it.

Put polish remover on cotton pad and wrap around finger nail and let set a few minutes, polish will come right off..I put 3 or4 cotton pads on at once and hold with fingers and polish comes right off, you just need to let remover set on nail a few minutes, love this polish!!!! Hope this helps, Jan

I just spoke with a tech at 3M and they said the best way they have found is to apply a thicker coat over what you have and once it's dried for at least 24 hrs, peel it off and it should pull the layer underneath as well. Just make sure if you've waxed over the top of the film, you'll need to use something to strip the wax or it won't adhere to it. The second method is to soak it in ammonia based window cleaner for at least 15 minutes and then use a car sponge to scrub it off.

I think I read that you have to apply more than one coat. I haven't tested mine; sounds like I need to.

It does not come off easily and before you can even try to get it off you need to file off the gel layer on the top. The only way I am able to get it off is to put acetone on a cotton ball and wrap my nail in foil for a good 5-10 minutes (longer is better) and then after that, it will scrape off. It does not just rub off like normal nail polish but properly applied, it does wear much longer and is therefore worth the extra effort. the remover MUST be straight acetone.

You should be able to get it done with 2 gallons. Put on light coats and let it dry for 10 minutes before applying next coat. 4 to 5 coats

Here's what I have learned through trial and sometimes error. These times are usually dependent on whatever brand polish you are using. Some will say on the box or bottle. Others I kind of just figured out on my own. Usually to be safe I do 30 seconds for base coats on brands that do not give instruction. I go 1 min on color if it is gel. I will go 3-4 on non gel colors. Top coat I go 1 min as well. I will say that I am a. Mom and tend to be paranoid when it comes to freshly done nails, so I give it a "just in case" amount of time. Good luck!

It depends. start with 10 minutes. Then if you wipe it off and want it darker you can reapply it.

Hallo, I have not had to reapply the product at all. I only use it once and it works superbly. Instead of applying it for five or so minutes, you can leave it for slightly longer, possibly 8 to 10 mins, not more. I like the product, it works very well for me, both for the beared and hair.

Far as i know yes you just have to leave it for 2-3mins depending on the brand of gel polish you're using where as with an LED light it may say 30 seconds. Some gels that I have used such as China Glaze, Fingerpaints, and Sally Hansen and they say use Led or UV light and it tells you the amount of time on the bottle

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.
