Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set 10ml require an LED/UV lamp?
Yes, the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set 10ml must be cured under a compatible LED or UV nail lamp rather than left to air dry.
This curing step hardens the gel polish, transforming it into a durable, high-shine finish. Without proper curing, the gel will remain tacky and will not fully set. Curing each coat also creates a smooth surface that allows additional layers to be applied without smudging.
Proper curing helps build smooth, even layers that are more resistant to everyday wear while enhancing the depth and shine of the finished manicure.
For the best performance, follow the recommended curing times for your compatible LED or UV lamp. Different lamps can vary in power, so following the manufacturer’s recommendations helps ensure the gel polish cures correctly and delivers a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Do I need a base coat and top coat with this gel polish set?
Using a compatible gel base coat and top coat is recommended when applying any of the colours in the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set 10ml.
A gel base coat promotes better adhesion between the coloured gel polish and the natural nail, helping reduce the likelihood of premature peeling or lifting. Plus, it creates a smooth foundation for more even colour application. A top coat completes the manicure by sealing in the colour, adding a high-gloss finish, and improving resistance to chips and everyday wear.
Together, the base coat and top coat help improve the durability, appearance, and overall performance of your gel manicure.
For the most consistent and professional-looking results, apply the colours as part of a complete NSI Nails gel system and cure each layer under a compatible LED or UV lamp. Using products designed to work together helps each layer bond effectively for an even finish.
Can I use these hot pink shades with other NSI nail polish systems?
Of course, the hot pink shades in the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set 10ml can be paired with compatible NSI gel nail systems.
You can combine them with gel base coats, top coats, builder gels, and other gel polish colours to create layered designs and customised nail art. This compatibility provides greater flexibility when creating different finishes while maintaining a consistent application process.
For reliable adhesion, colour consistency, and long-lasting wear, it is recommended to use the shades as part of a complete NSI gel system rather than mixing them with incompatible formulations. Products designed to work together help deliver dependable performance and professional-looking results.
For the best results, follow the recommended curing instructions for each layer. Proper curing helps the gel polish set evenly, supporting a cleaner finish and improved durability.
Can this gel polish set be used for 3D nail art?
Yes, the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set 10ml can be incorporated into 3D nail art designs, primarily as the colour layer beneath or around raised elements.
Beyond that, you can pair the shades with builder gels, sculpting gels, rhinestones, charms, and other nail art accessories to create textured, dimensional finishes. Using the gel polish as a base colour helps highlight raised design elements while providing a vibrant foundation for more detailed nail art.
Once the design is complete, cure each gel layer according to the recommended instructions and seal any appropriate areas with a compatible top coat to help maximise durability and shine.
NSI Nails also offers training courses covering gel polish application techniques to help beginners and experienced nail technicians further develop their skills and achieve consistent results with their gel products and tools.
How should I store the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set 10ml?
Store the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set 10ml upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and any source of LED or UV light. Exposure to excessive heat or light can begin curing the gel polish inside the bottle, affecting its consistency and performance.
Alongside this, always wipe the bottle neck clean and tighten the cap securely after each use. This helps prevent product build-up, maintains a proper seal, and reduces the risk of contaminants affecting the gel polish.
If the bottles have been stored for a while, gently shake each one before use to help redistribute the pigments for even colour application.
If you notice discolouration, clumping, or changes in the consistency of the gel polish, it may be time to replace the affected bottle to maintain consistent application results.
Is the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set suitable for both salon and home use?
Yes, the Hot Pink - Gel Polish 6 Colour Set 10ml is suitable for both professional nail technicians and home users who are familiar with gel polish application. With its adaptability for both professional and home use, it is well-suited to the techniques taught in professional nail courses.
For salon professionals, the 10ml bottles are a practical size for regular nail services while remaining easy to organise and store. Home users with experience applying gel polish can also use the set to create long-lasting, professional-looking manicures by following the recommended application and curing process.
Whether used in a salon or at home, the bottle size offers a practical balance between regular use, convenient storage, and everyday handling.
