What is the difference between Striplac and other gel polishes?

Striplac is a peel or soak off , this means that you can soak it off (soak off) but you can also peel it off (peel off) , other gel polish systems are always soak off, so you can soak it off but it should not be peeled off because when peeling you can damage your own nail.

How do I apply Striplac? The Striplac step-by-step guide:

Below I've listed the steps in the order you can do them. If you click on them, you can see the products and tools you can use.

Step 1: Prepare your nails:

Cut nails , file nails , push back cuticles , then Alessandro says you should polish and smoothen the nails with a polishing file , but from experience I notice that Striplac often lasts longer if you file the nails matte with a nail buffer .

(You will find out what works best for your nails or you can also alternate.)
After this, you can easily remove the dust by filing with a manicure brush .

Then you degrease the nails with nail cleanser , do this only on the hand you will start with and only on the other hand when you start on your second hand, before you apply color.

Step 2: Apply Striplac color:

Choose from over 100 Striplac colors and apply a thin layer of the color you want. Hold it under an LED nail lamp for 60 seconds. Repeat if necessary.
(With Striplac you don't need to apply a base coat.)

Step 3: Apply topcoat:

Then apply a layer of topcoat . You can choose from a regular glossy topcoat, a matte topcoat , or topcoats with glitter . Also, heat this layer under the LED nail lamp for 60 seconds.

When you remove your hand from the lamp, you'll notice a sticky residue remains. Remove this with nail cleanser or the glossy finish for extra shine.
