Wondering why the directions say only 3 days for pre-polish, but 7 days for all the other steps?

The directions are pretty much a guide to follow when you get started. As you learn the different rock characteristics (hardness / size etc.) you can tweak it as needed. Some of the sites that sell rock tumbling supplies have helpful information. One I have used is http://rocktumbler.com/tips/rock-tumbler-instructions/. Good luck.

Experience has taught me that the directions are more of a guide then a rule Depending on the stones condition and hardness experience will eventually guide you to what works best. I would recommend research online into polishing the type of stones you are working with then follow that guidance.

pre-polish is used to "clean" the abrasive off. the longer you tumble with each media the brighter the rock at the end. you can experiment with different amounts of time and you can always put the rock through the process again!

I think so. With my nails the polish stays for a couple weeks, before it grows out. It was a little easy to peel some of it.but only from the base.

Make sure the floor is fully dry and not tack at all, but the instructions say not to wait longer than 5 days. I did my floor coating, waited three days and then applied the clear. Looks fantastic and the included anti slip is nice!!

Not at all. With polishing and building, around 45 days in my freetime. If you have available time during day and night, and will be reduced to around 15 days.

I always go by the time given on the bottle, but, yes, these are the times for most brands. Some colors ask for 60 seconds, and my topcoat says 30 seconds. If it doesn't say, I give it 60. They will always feel tacky until you wipe with an alcohol pad as noted with the instructions that came with my Gelish starter kit. You can wipe after each coat, but it's not necessary until after the last coat. If I'm adding an acrylic design, I'll wipe before that because I'll be touching the nail. My manicure generally last two weeks - three if I wear gloves every time I wash dishes.

It should be after the 3 days described in the directions. Have not tried it yet myself.

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

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!!!

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

Mine dried in 2 days. Perhaps you put more coats than I did. I only did one coat

If you do three coats they say 48 hours. I waited a few days to really let it harden. This really is a grey system and much cheaper than commercial services. Make sure you get mineral spirits to take off any wax residue.

I believe they used to label this as a three step process with each different product marked with a number. The Ultimate Compound is designed to remove dirt/grime and paint blemishes and the polish provides the protection layer and then a wax over gives the lasting finish. I have used the three step process for years and love the results. It is a long process but the finish holds very well.

I would purchase extra course...but you always finish with a 'polish'...the one included is fine. I use it once per week, and for the first time in my adult life, I have smooth feet!

I don't know- tried the "plus" and had no result - finally remove all polish and suffered through 1 month of ugly nails - treated them daily with the protein oil from Nailtique and now they look again presentable though still a little weak - there is no miracle solution they just need a polish "vacation" - good luck!

Takes about 3 timer cycles so about 3 minutes. I am still testing the UV light time on what works best. It's not easy to know because the Gel polishes leave a tacky feel to the touch and makes it feel like it's not cured yet. When completely done, you would use alcohal to remove the tackiness.

I would guess just the thirty days that Amazon gives you. Mine didn't ecen come with instructions!
