Kiss Gel Strong Nail Polish is a long-lasting, chip-free nail polish that delivers a gel-like shine without the need for a UV lamp. The polish is available in a range of colours and can be applied in multiple coats for increased durability. The application process involves trimming, filing, and buffing the nails, followed by the application of the polish, which dries quickly and provides a smooth and shiny finish. Removal of the polish can be done using non-acetone or acetone-based removers, depending on the formula. The Kiss Brush-On Gel Nail Kit offers a similar experience, providing a thick, glue-like consistency that can be painted on like nail polish and dried to a hard, shiny finish.

What You'll Learn
Preparing your nails
Firstly, protect your work surface by covering it with paper towels. This will help create a clean and tidy workspace. Next, use a manicure stick to gently push back your cuticles. This step ensures that your nail bed is ready for the application of the gel polish. After that, trim and file your nails to your desired length and shape. You can use a nail clipper and a nail file for this step.
Once your nails are trimmed and filed, it's time to lightly buff the surface of your nails. Buffing helps create a smooth surface and removes any shine. Be careful not to over-buff, as this can thin and damage your nails. After buffing, remove any dust created by the process. Use a soft brush or a wipe to gently sweep away the nail dust. Finally, wipe your nails clean with acetone polish remover. This step ensures that your nails are free of any oils or residue, creating a clean base for the gel polish to adhere to.
If you are using artificial nail tips, you can select the correct size for each finger and set them aside in order before beginning the application. You can also file the sides of the tips for a more accurate fit if needed. Now your nails are prepared and ready for the application of the Kiss Brush-On Gel Nail Kit!

Applying the nail polish
Applying the Kiss Gel Nail Polish is a straightforward process. The product is designed to be easy to apply and dries quickly, delivering a perfect gel-like look without the need for a lamp. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to apply the nail polish:
Step 1: Prepare Your Nails
Start by protecting your working surface with paper towels. Gently push back your cuticles using a manicure stick. Trim and file your nails to the desired shape. If you want a smooth base, lightly buff the nail surface to remove any existing shine. Finally, wipe your nails clean with an acetone polish remover to ensure they are free of any dust or residue.
Step 2: Apply the First Layer
Avoid getting polish on your skin and cuticles. Apply an even layer of the Kiss Gel Nail Polish to one nail, just as you would with regular nail polish. Remember to apply a thin coat to avoid excessive product buildup, which can cause air bubbles and distortion.
Step 3: Use the Activator
Using the brush from the Brush Cleaner, dip it into the Activator solution. Immediately apply a thin coat of the Activator over the wet gel polish. Ensure you work swiftly as the gel polish dries quickly.
Step 4: Repeat for All Nails
Wipe the brush on a paper towel and return it to the Brush Cleaner to maintain its cleanliness and softness. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all ten nails. Ensure each nail has a thin layer of both the gel polish and the Activator.
Step 5: Apply Additional Layers
For a more opaque and vibrant look, apply a second layer of the gel polish and activator combination to all ten nails. Repeat this step for a third layer if desired. The more layers you add, the longer your manicure will last.
Step 6: Finish with a Top Coat
Once you have achieved your desired level of opacity, finish with a thin layer of the gel polish on all ten nails as you would with a regular top coat. The gel polish will self-level and set to a hard, smooth, and shiny surface in under 5 minutes.
Now you can enjoy your beautiful manicure! Remember that Kiss Gel Nail Polish is long-lasting and chip-resistant, so you can expect your manicure to last for several weeks.

Using the brush cleaner
The Kiss Brush On Gel Nail Kit is a simple way to achieve a super-strong, long-lasting, at-home gel manicure. The kit includes everything you'll need for a smooth and shiny finish without the need for buffing.
The brush cleaner is an important tool in the kit, helping you to achieve a neat and professional-looking manicure. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
- After preparing your nails by pushing back cuticles, trimming, filing, and buffing, you will need to select the correct-sized tip for each finger.
- Apply the Brush-on Gel to the back well area of the nail tip (the part that adheres to your natural nail).
- Slowly lower the tip onto your natural nail and hold it firmly until it sets.
- To blend the tip with your natural nail, take the brush from the brush cleaner and dip it into the Activator.
- Apply a thin coat of Activator over the wet gel, just as you would apply nail polish.
- Wipe the brush on a paper towel and return it to the brush cleaner to keep it clean and soft.
- Repeat these steps for all ten nails, applying a second layer of Brush-on Gel and Brush-on Activator for added opacity.
- For an even more opaque look, you can add a third layer of the Gel/Activator combination.
- Finish by applying a thin layer of Brush-on Gel to all ten nails as you would a top coat.
The Brush-on Gel will self-level and set to a hard, smooth, and shiny surface in under 5 minutes. You can enjoy your manicure as is, or you can finish with your own nail polish for a pop of color.

Removing the nail polish
If you are using the traditional method, start by filing down the top coat of your nail polish with a coarse nail file until it is no longer shiny. Next, tear off pieces of cotton balls or pads that are about 1.5 x 1.5 cm. These pieces should be thin but large enough to cover your nail bed without touching the skin around your nails or your cuticles. Soak the cotton in acetone—around 5 to 10 drops should be enough. If you are using cotton pads, apply the acetone directly to the pad.
Once the cotton is damp, place it on your nail and wrap your finger in aluminium foil. Repeat this process for each nail, then wait for about 10 minutes. The acetone will soften the gel polish during this time. After 10 minutes, remove the foil and cotton, then use a metal cuticle pusher or orangewood stick to gently push the gel polish off your nails. If the polish is not coming off easily, you may need to soak your nails in acetone for another 5 minutes.
Finally, gently buff your nails to smooth out any ridges and uneven edges. Be careful not to overdo it, as this can cause your nails to become thin and weak, making it difficult for nail polish to stick in the future.
For a faster and gentler alternative, you can use the KISS Glue OFF Instant Fake Nails Remover. Apply the nail remover along your cuticles and wait for about a minute to let it soften and dissolve the nail glue. Then, use the product's chisel tip to lift off the false nails and wipe off any remaining glue with a paper towel. Repeat this process as needed, and use a nail buffer to remove any remaining glue and smooth the surface of your nails.

Decorating your nails
Preparing Your Nails:

Trim and file your nails to your desired shape, then lightly buff the surface of your nails to create a smooth base. Remove any dust and wipe your nails clean with acetone polish remover.
Applying KISS Gel Shine Nail Polish:
Select your desired KISS Gel Shine Nail Polish color. Apply an even layer of the polish to one nail, avoiding the skin and cuticle area. Allow the polish to dry for a few seconds. Repeat this step for all ten nails.
For a more opaque and vibrant color, apply a second coat of polish to each nail. You can also add a third layer for an even more intense look. Allow the polish to dry thoroughly.
Now it's time for the creative part! You can decorate your nails with various designs and techniques. Here are some ideas:
- Add some sparkle: Use a glitter top coat or sprinkle glitter on wet polish for a festive look.
- French manicure: Create a classic French manicure by painting the tips of your nails white and adding a sheer pink or nude polish to the rest of the nail.
- Stickers and stamps: Use nail stickers or stamps with fun designs to add interest to your manicure.
- Studs and rhinestones: Apply small studs or rhinestones to your nails for a 3D effect.
- Tape and stencils: Use nail art tape to create geometric designs or stencils for more intricate patterns.
Sealing and Finishing:
Once you're happy with your nail art, finish with a thin layer of top coat to protect your design and add shine. Allow the top coat to dry completely.
Caring for Your Nails:
To extend the life of your manicure, avoid immersing your hands in water for prolonged periods and wear gloves when doing household chores. To remove the polish, use a non-acetone remover and gently buff the area where the nail growth meets the cuticle.
With KISS Gel Shine Nail Polish, you can achieve a salon-quality manicure at home. Get creative and experiment with different colors and designs to showcase your unique style!
