Builder Gel Liquids
NOTE: Use caution when curing gel liquids in your lamp. Applying gel too thick can cause heat spikes, thereby causing a burning sensation on your nails. Also, wipe away any gel from your skin before curing in a lamp to avoid burning your skin.

Gel liquids need to be kept in a cool, dark place. Exposure to light will harden the gel.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:
For the fastest removal, you will need the following:
- Bowl large enough for your hand
- 100% Acetone
- Ziplock type baggie quart or gallon size
- Paper Towel
- Hot water
- Nail File
- Coconut oil is recommended but not necessary
- With your nail file, file off the top coat of your gel to break the seal and allow the acetone to soak off your mani.
- Heat 1-2 cups of water in your bowl to a temperature that your hand will tolerate.
- Add the paper towel to your baggie and pour in approx. 1/4 cup of the Acetone. (If you have coconut oil, you can add about 5 drops to the baggie to help moisten your hand once it is soaked in the acetone).
- Put your hand in the baggie and put the baggie into the bowl of hot water.
- Seal the baggie around your hand and rub each of your nails on the acetone soaked paper towel until the dip powder comes off. (This process should take no more than 5-10 minutes per hand).
Returns/Refunds cannot be honored for any dip liquids, gel liquids or powders.
