It's Science, Duh: Layer for a Custom Nail Look

Quick answer

Layer the semi-cured strips from 'It's Science, Duh' to create a custom multi-color nail design. Cure each layer under the Mini LED Lamp for 60 seconds to build a unique look.

How to layer for a custom look

1. Prep and apply the first strip: Clean your nail, apply the first 'It's Science, Duh' strip, and press firmly. Avoid exposing unused strips to LED light while curing. Common mistake: exposing unused strips to light before curing – they will harden and become unusable.
2. Cure the first layer: Press the button on the back of the Mini LED Lamp for at least 1 second to power on. Cure the nail for 60 seconds. Checkpoint: ensure the strip is fully cured before adding the next layer to avoid lifting.
3. Add a second strip for a custom effect: Choose a second strip (e.g., a solid color or another 'It's Science, Duh' tip) and apply it partially over the cured first layer. This creates a layered ombré or accent design. Common mistake: applying a second strip before the first is fully cured – wait the full 60 seconds.
4. Cure the second layer: Cure again for 60 seconds under the Mini LED Lamp. The combined layers create a unique multi-color nail design.
5. Finish with a top coat (optional): Apply a glossy top coat over the cured layers for extra shine and protection. Cure for another 60 seconds. Checkpoint: avoid thick layers – two strips plus a top coat is enough for a durable custom nail art look.
