5. Cure in a 36W UV lamp for 2 minutes, UV36/48W LED lamp for 60 seconds.

6. Apply the F.O.X Shine Gel Mermaid 002 all over the nail, if reinforcement and leveling is needed, use the drip method.

The nail is ready to be painted with the gel polish or top coat of your choice.

Pro Tips: Keep gel jars clean by cutting a small opening in the foil instead of peeling it off — it prevents leaks and accidental curing. Bonus: use the foil edge to wipe off excess product for mess-free application!
