Be Kind Rewind - Gel Nail Color

Yes. GELFX Nail Color is our gel nail color system designed to cure with UV/LED light using our LED 900 FX lamp. Each GELFX product cures for 30 seconds in our 900 FX Lamp with the exception of our No Cleanse Topcoat which cures for 60 seconds.

To remove GELFX color, file the top layer of gel to break the seal and ensure acetone will penetrate the product. Soak the cotton pad of your Foil Remover Wraps with Genius Remover and tightly wrap ensuring the cotton pad is directly on top of your nail. Let soak for 10 minutes. Remove the wraps one at a time and gently push off the flaked up gel from the nail plate. Do not use heavy pressure. If there is any excess gel, replace your Foil Remover Wrap and let soak for another 2 minutes.

All gels (with the exception of our No Cleanse Topcoat ) cure with an inhibition layer. This layer, also known as a “tacky layer”, is created when oxygen inhibits the very top layer from fully curing. This is intentional as it creates a grippy surface for the next layer to adhere to. Remember, shiny doesn’t stick to shiny! But please DO NOT TOUCH the inhibition layer as uncured gel can cause skin irritations. Remember, gel products are made for nails and should never touch the skin. When you’ve finished your GELFX manicure, if you’ve opted for our original GELFX Topcoat, remove the inhibition layer with a lint-free wipe and 99% alcohol to reveal your shine. Or use our No Cleanse Topcoat to skip this step!

ORLY develops its nail products with nail health in mind. Always follow application and removal protocols for best results. Improper use or removal can damage nails, and allergic reactions can occur.

This happens when applying your gel layers too thick. Damaged, thin nails will be more sensitive to this phenomenon. To avoid it, make sure to apply thin layers of your gel products. If you do feel a heat spike when your nails are curing in your 900 FX LED Lamp, immediately remove your hand for 2-3 seconds and then go back in for a full cure. This will give your nails time to cool down to prevent the heat spike from occurring. We also recommend trying out the variable low-heat mode on our 900 FX LED lamp which gradually increases the strength of the light in 10 second increments to prevent heat spikes.
