2 minutes under the lamp, not 1.
With the Long-Lasting Kit, once the Top Coat is on, keep your nails under the UV Lamp for a full two minutes: just run the 60-second timer twice. In our tests, that extra minute made the manicure last noticeably longer.

- DryLet it air dry at your own pace.
- Seal OptionalFor the glossy gel effect and wear that lasts up to 14 days, add the Long-Lasting Kit: apply a coat of Top Coat, then place your nails under the UV Lamp for 2 minutes (run the 60-second timer twice).
Our tips
- On its own, your color lasts a few days; with the Long-Lasting Kit (Top Coat + UV Lamp), it lasts up to 14 days.
- Thin coats always beat one thick coat: it dries faster and the finish is more even.
- To remove your color, a regular remover does the job, no hassle.
- You can layer shades to create your own custom color.
The Lip Pen is your liner and your ink in one. You draw your lips then fill them in, for a natural, comfortable finish: your lips but better.
Step by step
- OutlineTrace the outline of your lips with the liner tip, following their natural shape.
- FillFill in the center with the ink for an even color, thanks to the 2-in-1 liner and ink.
- BlendBlend lightly with your fingertip if you want a softer finish.
Our tips
- Start with small strokes, you can always build it up later.
- Pull the color toward the center of your lips for a soft gradient.
- For a sharper look, keep the outline crisp and fill all the way to the edges.
