What You'll Learn
Prepare your nails
Preparing your nails thoroughly will ensure a long-lasting and chip-free gel manicure and help the gel nail polish to adhere to your nails. Work in a well-ventilated space, avoiding direct sunlight or the outdoors as the product is light-sensitive.
Firstly, file and lightly buffer your nails. You can use the pink side of the buffer to file in a downward direction only, as buffing up and down will create an uneven tip.
Next, use a cuticle pusher or the slanted edge of a manicure stick to push back your cuticles. It is important that the cuticle area is clean and free from debris when you apply the gel, as this may prevent the gel polish from adhering to the nail.
Then, apply a layer of gel cleanser. Squeeze out a drop or two onto a lint-free wipe and wipe this across each nail, ensuring you have a tissue underneath.
After cleansing, apply one layer of gel primer to each nail and let it air dry. The primer will be a clear solution, similar to a base coat, and will dry quickly.
Finally, set up your LED lamp and plug it in. You are now ready to begin applying your gel polish.

Apply peel-off base coat
Sensationail's gel nail polish is a great way to get salon-quality nails at home. The product is light-sensitive, so it is important to work in a well-ventilated space, avoiding direct sunlight or the outdoors.
Before applying the peel-off base coat, prepare your nails by pushing back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher or the slanted edge of a manicure stick. It is important to ensure that the cuticle area is clean and free from debris, as this will help the gel polish adhere to the nail.
Now, you are ready to apply the peel-off base coat. Apply a thin layer of the peel-off base coat and let it air-dry. Make sure to avoid getting the base coat on your skin or cuticles, as this can cause premature lifting and affect the wear of your manicure.
For longer wear, it is recommended to stop short of applying the base coat all the way to the edges of your nails. This allows the nail polish to stick to the outer edges of your nail, providing better adhesion.
Once the base coat is dry, you can move on to the next step of applying the colour gel polish.
Additional Tips for Using Sensationail Gel Polish
- Shake the gel polish bottle vigorously to thin the viscosity, making the application smoother and more even.
- Apply the gel polish in thin, even layers for a precise coating, ensuring you cover the entire nail without touching the skin or cuticle.
- Cure your nails under the LED lamp for 30 seconds.
- Remove the tacky layer using gel cleanser and lint-free wipes.

Apply colour gel polish
Sensationail Gel Polish is a world-class home manicure set that gives a salon-quality finish. The unique gel formula allows women to achieve an easily removable, high-gloss, damage-proof manicure that's simple to achieve and great for everyday wear. The Sensationail starter kit comes with everything you need, including an LED lamp, gel primer, gel cleanser, gel base and top coat, a colour gel polish, a file/buffer, cuticle sticks and lint-free wipes.
Before applying the colour gel polish, prepare your nails by pushing back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher or the slanted edge of a manicure stick. It is important that the cuticle area is clean and free from debris when you apply the gel as this may prevent the gel polish from adhering to the nail.
When applying the colour gel polish, start by shaking the bottle to thin out the formula. Then, apply an even layer over the entire nail. Do not start too close to the cuticle. Start a bit further up the nail and then gently 'push' the gel polish towards the cuticle without letting it touch. Then, pull one stroke up the centre and one up each side. Finally, 'cap' the nail by running the brush horizontally over the tip. Wait a few seconds for it to even out perfectly, and then cure the nail for 30 seconds under the LED nail lamp.
Repeat the above steps for each nail, but remember that the sun can start the curing process, so it is recommended to apply Sensationail Gel Polish in a controlled indoor environment. We recommend applying the gel polish to both thumbs first and curing them together. Then, apply the gel polish to the other four nails on one hand and cure. Repeat the same steps on the other hand. Make sure you position your hand all the way inside the lamp so that the LED light completely covers your fingertips.

Cure nails under an LED lamp
Sensationail's LED nail lamp is designed for the quick and efficient curing of gel nail polish. It is safe and protective, emitting a light source that is harmless to the hands and eyes. The LED nail lamp cures top and base coats in 15 seconds and the colour in 30 seconds.
To cure your nails under an LED lamp, first, apply the gel polish in thin, even coats, ensuring that you do not touch the skin or cuticle. Wait a few seconds for the polish to smooth out, and then place your nails in the lamp. Make sure your hand is positioned fully inside the lamp so that the LED light covers your fingertips. The LED lamp will automatically turn on and cure the coats in 15 seconds and the colour in 30 seconds.
The LED nail lamp can be used for manicures and pedicures and is portable, with a sleek and slim design. It is easy to use, with automatic sensors, and can be charged using a USB cable.
It is important to note that not all gel polishes are compatible with LED lamps, so always check the brand of gel polish you are using. LED lamps cure gel polish faster than UV lamps, but they typically cost more.

Remove with gel cleanser
Sensationail gel nail polish can be removed using the following steps:
Firstly, you will need to buff and wrap your nails. Sensationail foil wraps keep the natural heat around each individual nail, making it easy for the gel polish to lift off nails. After 15 minutes, simply push the gel polish away with a manicure stick or a removal tool to reveal clean, healthy nails.
Alternatively, you can dip your nails in a bowl of acetone or try the foil method, which involves applying acetone to a cotton pad, then wrapping this around the nail with foil.
To remove the sticky layer after curing your nails, use the Gel Cleanser and Lint-Free wipes. Simply add a drop or two of the cleanser to a lint-free wipe and wipe it across each nail.
It is important to be gentle when removing gel nail polish to avoid damaging your nails.
