How to Apply Pocket Salon One Step Gel

Step 1: Prep Your Nails

• Wash and dry your hands.
• Gently push back your cuticles.
• Lightly buff the natural nail surface to remove shine.
• Clean the nail with an alcohol wipe or nail cleanser to remove oil and dust.

Proper nail preparation is the key to long-lasting wear.

Step 2: Apply the Gel

Apply a thin, even coat of Pocket Salon One Step Gel.

Avoid getting the gel on your skin or cuticles.

Tip: Thin coats cure more effectively and provide a smoother finish.

Step 3: Cure

Place your nails under a compatible UV/LED nail lamp.

• Light and medium shades: Cure for 60 seconds.
• Dark or highly pigmented shades: Cure for 90 seconds for thorough curing.

Always apply thin coats and cure each coat separately.

Step 4: Apply a Second Coat

For richer color, better coverage, and a more even finish, we recommend applying a second thin coat.

Cure again:

• 60 seconds for light and medium shades
• 90 seconds for dark or highly pigmented shades

Two thin coats are recommended for the best salon-quality finish.

Step 5: Finish

That's it — your manicure is ready!

No primer, base coat, or top coat is required.

For extra protection, durability, and shine, you may optionally apply a top coat.

Pro Tips for Longer Wear

✔ Always start with clean, dry nails.

✔ Remove all oil and dust before application.

✔ Apply thin, even coats.

✔ Avoid getting gel on your skin or cuticles.

✔ Cap the free edge of the nail for improved wear.

✔ Cure each coat completely before applying the next.

✔ Use the recommended 90-second cure for dark or highly pigmented shades.

With proper nail preparation and application, Pocket Salon One Step Gel can provide up to 14 days of wear.

How to Remove Your One Step Gel

Removing your One Step Gel is simple. For healthy natural nails, never peel, pick, or force the gel off.

Method 1: Gel Remover Wraps — Recommended

The easiest way to remove your gel at home.

1. Buff – Gently file away the shine from the gel surface.
2. Wrap – Place the remover pad directly onto your nail and secure the wrap around your fingertip.
3. Soak – Leave on for 10–15 minutes.
4. Remove – Gently push away the softened gel with a cuticle stick or cuticle pusher.

After removal, apply cuticle oil to help moisturize your nails and cuticles.

Method 2: File Off

Prefer not to use remover? You can also file off your One Step Gel.

1. File – Use a 150/180 grit nail file to gently remove the gel.
2. Buff – As you get close to your natural nail, switch to a softer buffer.
3. Care – Remove any dust and finish with cuticle oil.

Pro Tip

Never peel or pick off gel polish. This can remove layers of your natural nail and leave them thin and brittle.

One Step. Simple. Salon-Ready.

Prep. Apply. Cure. Done.

Pocket Salon One Step Gel gives you an easier way to create a high-shine, salon-inspired manicure at home — without the extra steps.
