Sensationail kits - easier than it looks?

[Oudhe]

I’ve been a nail biter all my life but over the past few months have managed to train myself to stop. I’ve got a very old Sensationail kit at the back of my cupboard but I’ve barely touched it as it seems so complicated. I thought now would be a good time to give it a go. Does anyone have any tips please? Or very simple instructions?!

Well done on not biting your nails.

It’s very simple but you need a good 30 minutes to yourself for it. I’ve had my kit 8 years! I clean, file and apply the oil thing, then base coat and pop under lamp for a minute. Then the colour, nails back under lamp, 2nd coat back under lamp and then top coat back under lamp, then a wipe over at the end. I find it doesn’t chip but after a week my nails really show growth and actually the gels just peel off quite easily

Thank you! Is the stated curing time really enough? It seems fast to me and I feel like I should do it for more time than it says?! But then it just takes forever to do...

If I’m honest i lost the instructions ages ago and even when i buy new colours etc i never look. I think the colour or the clear is supposed to be 30secs but i always leave it for the full minute
