What is it: Gel Coat products create thick, protein-rich coatings, which add temporary, instant strength to natural nails. * Why it is different: Gel Coat and Gel Coat Color contain keratin, the main protein of the nail. They add temporary, instant strength and temporary, instant, measurable thickness to nails. They also create a protective barrier to help nails avoid contact with water and other agents that might dry them out. Gel Coat Color uses a unique formula that creates a thick, strong coating over the nail while covering it in beautiful, classic colors. * How do I use it: Apply one coat of any Gel Coat product and let dry. If desired, apply an additional coat. Remove once weekly with any nail polish remover. No soaking necessary. If you are using Clear Gel Coat, you may apply nail polish over the dry product.
