15 mL EachEach bottle is listed as 0.5 fl oz / 15 mL, a familiar size for salon color services.
LED/UV Gel ColorThe gel component cures under LED/UV light and should be used with compatible base and top products.
Air-Dry LacquerThe matching lacquer applies separately like a conventional polish and dries without a lamp.
✦ How to Use
- 01 For gel application, begin with clean, properly prepped natural nails and apply a compatible DND base gel. For a fully HEMA-free service, choose HEMA-free base and top products.
- 02 Apply a thin coat of Ash & Tell gel color, cap the free edge, and cure under an LED/UV lamp according to the bottle directions or DND system guidance.
- 03 Apply a second thin gel coat and cure, then finish with a compatible top coat. Avoid overly thick layers, which can affect cure quality.
- 04 Use the matching lacquer separately as a traditional polish and allow it to air dry. Remove lacquer with standard polish remover; remove gel with a proper soak-off process.
