Here is a step-by-step guide on how to apply semi-permanent nail gel:

Step 1: Preparation

Make sure you have all the tools and materials you need for gel polish application. You will need:

- A nail file
- A nail buffer
- A nail primer
- A base gel
- A semi-permanent color gel
- A gel top coat
- A gel remover
- A gel brush
- A UV or LED lamp for curing

Step 2: Nail preparation

Start by cleaning your nails thoroughly with nail polish remover to remove any polish residue. Next, file the nail surface lightly to roughen the surface and promote adhesion of the gel. Use the buffer to smooth the nail surface and remove any imperfections.

Step 3: Primer application

Apply a small amount of primer to your natural nail. The primer helps to increase the adhesion of the gel and prevent it from peeling. Let it dry completely.

Step 4: Base gel application

Take the base gel and apply a thin layer to the nail, avoiding touching the surrounding skin. Make sure you cover the nail completely and distribute the gel evenly. Avoid putting too much product to avoid lumps.

Step 5: Curing

Place the nail under a UV or LED lamp and let the base gel cure for the time indicated on the product. Usually, it takes 30 to 60 seconds under an LED lamp or 2 to 3 minutes under a UV lamp. Be sure to follow the specific instructions for the product you are using.

Step 6: Application of color gel

Take the desired semi-permanent color gel and apply a thin layer on the nail, following the same technique used for the base gel. Make sure you cover the nail completely and distribute the gel evenly. Avoid touching the surrounding skin.

Step 7: Curing

Place the nail under the UV or LED lamp and let the color gel cure for the time indicated on the product. Usually, it takes 30 to 60 seconds under an LED lamp or 2 to 3 minutes under a UV lamp. Follow the specific product instructions.

Step 8: Applying top coat gel

Apply a thin layer of gel top coat to the nail, following the same technique as for the previous layers. Make sure you cover the nail completely and distribute the gel evenly. Avoid touching the surrounding skin.
