Quick Answer
Apply SUPREME MATTE no wipe top coat over cured gel color in a thin, even layer, then cure under a UV/LED lamp. No wiping or cleansing needed for a smooth, soft-touch matte finish.
Why Choose a Non-Wipe Matte Top Coat
SUPREME MATTE eliminates the extra step of wiping off a sticky dispersion layer, saving time and reducing the risk of smudging or dulling the finish. The velvet-soft effect stays consistent from the moment you cure.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Applying too thick a layer can cause the matte finish to appear patchy or develop bubbles. Always cap the free edge to prevent premature lifting, but keep the coat thin and even.
Step-by-Step Application Guide
- Prep and Base Color: Apply your gel base coat and color as usual, curing each layer fully under your UV/LED lamp. Ensure the color layer is smooth and free of dust. A bumpy color layer will show through the matte top coat.
- Apply a Thin Layer of SUPREME MATTE: Using a clean brush, apply a thin, even coat of SUPREME MATTE over the cured color. Start from the cuticle area and brush toward the free edge. Cap the free edge lightly. Thick application causes uneven matte finish or bubbles.
- Cure Under Lamp: Cure the top coat under a UV or LED lamp according to your lamp's recommended time (typically 30-60 seconds for LED, 2 minutes for UV). Do not wipe or cleanse after curing. Over-curing may cause the matte to appear slightly shiny in spots.
- Check and Touch Up: Inspect the nail for any shiny patches or missed areas. If needed, apply a second thin coat and cure again. The finish should be uniformly soft-touch matte. Shiny spots mean the coat was too thin or uneven in that area.
