Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gel and Lacquer Combo?
PLA’s Gel and Lacquer Combo includes two coordinated nail polishes: a gel polish and lacquer in the exact same shade. It’s designed to give you a perfect match whether you’re applying gel or lacquer.
Can You Mix Lacquer and Gel?
Lacquer and gel polish cannot be mixed. They are two different systems with incompatible formulas and curing processes. Gel polish requires curing under a UV or LED lamp, while lacquer air-dries, so combining them in the same layer will lead to product failure. For best results, use each system independently as intended.
How Do You Use Gel Polish and Lacquer?
Gel Polish
-
Start with clean, prepped nails
-
Apply base coat, and cure under UV or LED Lamp.
-
Apply gel polish in thin even coats, curing after each coat.
-
Finish with gel top coat & cure again.
Lacquer
-
Start with clean, prepped nails.
-
Apply base coat, then allow it to fully air dry.
-
Apply thin even coats of lacquer, allowing each layer to fully air dry.
-
Finish with top coat, and allow to fully dry before touching.
Does Nail Lacquer Need a Top Coat?
Yes, for best results, using a top coat helps protect the color, reduce chipping, and improve durability and shine.
Does Gel Lacquer Need UV Light?
Yes, gel polish must be cured under a UV or LED lamp to harden and properly set. Without curing, the gel will not dry and can be easily wiped off.
How Long Does Gel Polish Take to Dry?
Gel polish doesn’t air dry like regular lacquer – it cures in under a minute under a UV/LED lamp. Each layer must be cured under the lamp.
