Mylee Note To Myself Gel Polish

STEP 1. PREP
File nails to shape and use a Mylee Buffing Block* to gently remove shine from the nail plate. Wipe your nails with a dash of Mylee 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe* on a Lint Free Wipe* to remove any oils.

STEP 2. BASE
Apply a thin layer of your chosen Mylee Base Coat* and cure for 60 seconds using a Mylee LED Lamp*.

STEP 3. COLOUR
Brush on your favourite Mylee Gel Polish shade and cure for 60 seconds. Build up the opacity in thin coats, curing each layer for a smooth, even finish. Don’t forget to cap the free edge by running some polish along the tip of your nail.

STEP 4. FINISH
Seal the deal with a Mylee Top Coat* and cure for 60 seconds. If using the regular Mylee Top Coat, remove the tacky layer with 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe on a Lint Free Wipe. Alternatively skip this step and use a Mylee No-Wipe Top Coat! Wash your hands, apply Mylee Nail & Cuticle Oil*, moisturise, and enjoy your salon-quality mani for up to 3 weeks!

Store your Mylee gel nail polishes in a cool, dark place and do not expose them to sunlight as this can cause discolouration, fade the pigment, and pre-cure the nail lacquer, reducing the maximum quantity of nail polish in the bottle.

Want your mani to go the distance? From prep to polish to removal, these tips will help you get the best results every time.

Prep makes perfect

• Before you apply your Base Coat, lightly buff the surface of each nail using a buffing block. This creates a slightly rough texture that helps the gel adhere properly - no lifting, chipping or peeling here.

Push it real good

• Gently push back cuticles using a wooden or metal cuticle stick or pusher. This gives you a clean edge for application and helps polish last longer. You can also use a cuticle remover to get rid of any dead skin if needed.

Keep it clean

• Use Prep & Shine Wipes to cleanse your nails before you apply gel and to wipe off any tacky residue after your Top Coat cures. They're the multitasking MVP of your gel kit.

Layer it up

• For bold, even colour, apply 2 to 3 thin coats of Gel Polish, curing each layer under your LED lamp for 60 seconds. The same applies to Base and Top Coat. Always cure each coat separately to avoid soft spots, smudging or peeling.

Mind the cure time

• Curing is crucial. Most gel products - including Gel Polish, Base Coat, Top Coat, Builder Gel and Magic Extender Gel - should be cured under an LED lamp for 60 seconds per layer. For more pigmented shades or thicker layers, 90 seconds might be needed.

Seal the deal

• One coat of Top Coat is usually enough, but if you want extra shine and protection, go for two thin layers. Just be sure not to apply too thickly, and cure each coat properly to prevent bubbling or uneven texture.

Sticky? Not for long

• If your nails feel sticky after curing, don’t worry - it’s normal. That tacky layer just needs to be wiped away with an alcohol-based product like our Prep & Wipe. It’ll leave your nails smooth, glossy and ready to go.

Base Coat = staying power

• Your Base Coat acts like an anchor, holding your Gel Polish in place and helping it last. The Top Coat is your shield, locking in shine and colour while protecting your mani from everyday wear.

Protect your polish

• If you're doing manual work, washing up or putting pressure on your hands (think weights at the gym), your mani might take a hit. Wearing latex gloves when you can will help protect your mani and keep your nails looking fresh.

Moisture is key - just not before polish

• Once your gel manicure is done, apply Cuticle Oil daily to keep your nails hydrated and strong. But don’t use hand cream or oil before application - it can create a barrier that stops your polish from sticking properly. Wash and dry your hands before you start, and you’re good to go.
