Why this is so sticky when I apply it on my hand?

I believe that's the nature of the product considering this is ultra-pure and not diluted with lotion or oils. I've alleviated the sticky/tacky issues by also applying another moisturizing oil or simply allowing 15-20 minutes for it to absorb (it helps to apply it at bedtime and wear cotton gloves/socks).

because it's anhydrous - it has no water - no hydration. This is pharmaceutical grade lanolin - not intended to be a hand lotion or a moisturizer. The only time I use it on my hands and feet is when they are dangerously dry, and I am covering hands or feet with gloves or socks to to sleep in. 100% lanolin is also used as an additional ingredient if you are making your own balms and such. This is not for your face, either, except where chapped or dry to the point that it is raw. Check with a dermatologist if you are uncertain. Pure lanolin should be used sparingly.

Pure Lanolin is very thick and sticky. You can warm it between your fingers before spreading.

Try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. That usually works to get sticky stuff off of things.

it sounds like you haven't done the last step - use a lint free cloth and apply the nail cleanse solution that comes with the kit. Your nails will not be sticky at all in an instant. Just follow the instructions that come with the kit.

Its extremely sticky. Its pretty thick. I hard time peeling it off because it's so sticky. Use a heat gun to stretch it.

Nail polish remover containing acetone (don't use water; that makes it harden). If it's still sticky after that, try a gentle exfoliant rub: put a half tablespoon each of baking soda and olive oil in your palm, and "wash" your hands with the paste.

I don't find the product sticky. However, I am frugal and use this sparingly.

I have never had a problem with stickiness when using this product. It looks like feels like satin once it is thoroughly rubbed in the wood.

Danielle and Monica are spot on. Try not to touch the gel pads as the oils on the hand do not help with the stickiness. I have dampened my finger and moistened the gel to clean them and rehydrate them. Have had no problem after doing that.

Mine is not sticky. It has the consistency of natural aloe Vera juice. Mine does not smell at all.

it had a sticky / messy gel. I choose to not use the gel after it was so messy. I would have sent it back. However I had cut and altered the product

No, that is not normal. It should be white, and it has a thicker consistency than hand lotion or conditioner. Definitely return it. Im sorry you got a bad batch!

Use dust or oil from your hands to lower the tackiness on the phone side if necessary. It will prevent it from sticking to your phone too.

I would try rubbing in some baby oil and once it has mixed and lost its stickyness try rubbing in dishwashing liquid with a dash of water. If it comes away launder normally.Good luck.

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 am not sure. My skin feel very comfortable and moisturizing with this product. It's all natural. And it dry up very fast , doesn't leave a sticky feeling.
