Sasi Girl’s Ultimate At-Home Gel Manicure Guide

Achieve flawless, long-lasting nails at home with our premium, eco-luxe DIY gel technique—perfectly polished, every time.

1. Nail Prep

Shape and file to your desired look.

Gently push back cuticles for a clean nail bed—this helps the gel bond better.

Lightly buff to remove surface shine, increasing adhesion.

Clean thoroughly with acetone to remove oils and residue.

Pro Tip: Apply cuticle oil before buffing to protect the skin, then clean again to prep your nails.

 

2. Apply Your Gel

Base Coat

• Apply a thin layer and cure. This tacky finish helps the colour gel adhere perfectly.

Colour Gel

Use two thin coats—this prevents bubbling and ensures a smooth, even colour. Cure after each layer.

Builder Gel (Optional but Recommended)

Adds strength and structure without compromising your natural look. Apply in thin, even layers and cure.

No-Wipe Top Coat

Seal the manicure with a shiny, sticky-free finish—skip the cleanse, and let your nails shine.

Pro Tip: Double-curing the top coat adds an ultra-glossy, long-lasting finish.

 

3. Gentle Removal (Nail Care First!)

Soak cotton pads in acetone, apply to your nails, and wrap in foil to retain heat and speed removal.

After 10–15 minutes, gently lift off the softened gel—never force it off.

Finish by massaging in your favourite cuticle oil or moisturizer to rehydrate and nourish.

Tip: Hydrated nails heal faster and look healthier on the next application.
