I only use the builder gel polish itself, not the kit. I use DND gel polish after the builder gel is applied and cured.

This has greatly enhanced my nail routine as it shortens your prep time, beautiful buffs, and also removes polish!

NOTE: you do NOT need base coat ONLY top coat. Once you cure builder gel, apply color of choice, cure again, then you apply top coat, cure, and you’re done!

This is not a necessity. I prefer to use it on dry cuticles and trim off the dead or dry skin around my nails. You can either use a cuticle softener and push cuticles or use a nail drill.

Highly recommend when doing builder gel as you have to cure each finger and this makes it less messy and a whole lot easier!

A lamp is a great and useful way to gain light for your workplace if you do not have great lighting in your house or designated area! The more light, the better!
