Quick answer

Use the Gotti Citrus Pop Kit to create a fresh summer manicure by prepping nails, applying a thin base coat, curing, then building color in 2-3 thin layers, and finishing with a top coat.

Why the Citrus Pop Kit works for summer

The warm, zesty shades in this kit—from vibrant mango to bright orange and coral—are made for tropical vibes and bold statements. The gel formula cures hard and stays glossy, so your manicure lasts through beach trips and pool days without chipping.

How to apply the Citrus Pop Kit for a long-lasting summer manicure

  1. Prep your nails: Push back cuticles, gently buff the nail surface, and wipe with alcohol or a dehydrator to remove oils. This prevents lifting. Skipping dehydration is the most common cause of early peeling.
  2. Apply a thin base coat: Brush a thin layer of gel base coat over each nail, cap the free edge, and cure under a LED lamp per the base coat instructions. Thick coats can pool and cause uneven curing. Cure each hand separately to avoid shifting.
  3. Build color in thin layers: Shake the Citrus Pop shade well. Apply the first thin layer, cap the edge, and cure. Repeat for a second and possibly third layer until the color is opaque. Thick coats lead to wrinkling and incomplete curing. Two thin layers are usually enough for most shades; a third helps with sheer tones.
  4. Seal with top coat: Apply a gel top coat, cap the free edge, and cure fully. Wipe the inhibition layer with alcohol if the top coat leaves a sticky residue. This adds shine and extends wear. Capping the free edge on every layer prevents chipping at the tips.
