I've never put UV polish on my own nails before. Will I be able to get great results immediately?
Most people who are savvy with using regular nail polish on themselves will take to the UV polish process quickly and easily. GlazeMe UV polish is similar to regular nail polish, but of course there is a difference in the way the GlazeMe product behaves. For example, if you apply the coats too thickly it may appear wrinkled after curing process, or if you paint the sides of your cuticles or skin and allow it to 'pool', it will set that way. It's just a matter of learning to take your time with each coat being applied, until you are used to it.
We have had many first timers test out our products, and as long as you are aware of what NOT to do (i.e. please read all of our FAQ's), there's not that much to it, and practice makes perfect.
Can I use a regular nail polish together with the UV top coat?
No, regular nail polish does not have the wearability of GlazeMe UV polish, and should not be mixed with UV gel polish. Only use GlazeMe UV polish with GlazeMe UV polish.
Does GlazeMe UV polish damage nail health?
Due to the long wearing capability of UV nail polish it can help protect nails and allow them to grow without breaking as easily. Whilst the GlazeMe UV product may not be suitable for everyone, it should not impact nail health if applied and removed properly.
How does GlazeMe UV polish compare to other products?
In our opinion, GlazeMe UV polish is one of the best overall products on the marketplace without the expensive pricing of some brands, but with superior results to some of the cheaper and less effective brands on the market.
How much coat or polish should I apply to get the best results?
For best results always apply a thin and even layer of each coat and closely follow the instructions provided on our how to page.
How many Mls is each polish?
Each GlazeMe polish is 10mls.

I think I might be allergic to the polish
It's not very common, but some people can have or develop an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in gel polish. Like with any cosmetics, if you have any reaction, we recommend that you stop using your polishes and consult your GP to determine if it is an allergic reaction or something else.
Can the GlazeMe UV polish be used on toes?
Yes the GlazeMe UV polishes can be used on toes in the same application manner as for finger nails.

All lamps sold from our store come standard with Australian plugs and run between 200V - 250V and may require an adaptor or convertor depending on country of use (outside of Australia).

What are some of the properties of normal nail polish, gel, UV nail polish?
To meet the demands of the busy beauty-savvy woman who wants a long-wearing polish, the nail industry has recently released various types of nail polish systems that can make your polish last much longer than a regular nail polish.
Commonly referred to as long-lasting, “no chip”, hybrid or gel manicures; today many different products are available on the market.
Our beautiful range of GlazeMe UV polishes use gel properties in the form of a thin nail polish which cures under a LED UV Light and lasts up to 2 weeks.
What colours do I use for a French manicure?
Both Cotton , Snow Flake and Cherry Blossom are great to use for French tips. The only difference is that Cotton is a slightly more opaque/thicker white colour than Snow Flake. For the French base, our favourites are Just Been Kissed, Peepshow, Half Past Nude and Cherry Blossom.
The process for French manicure is:
Apply the base coat and French base colour (one or two coats as per your preference) – curing as normal. The curing MUST be completed as per our how to instructions.
Apply the French tip. If you need to tidy the line of the French tip, you can simply use an ISO wipe to remove any excess, without interfering with the base layers.
Apply the top coat and cure.

Why is my GlazeMe UV polish not lasting as long as it should?
There are a number of factors that determine the length of wear of your GlazeMe UV polish. Nail preparation is very important to ensure the best base is created for long lasting wear. Secondly is the type of lamp you use, not all lamps are created equal. Finally the manner in which the polish is applied - for best results paint an even thin layer of application and closely follow the instructions provided in the how to section of our website.
Why does my UV polish in the bottle seem thick or gluggy?
The coats and polishes are very sensitive to UV light / sun light and should therefore be kept in a cool, dry and dark space otherwise they may begin to cure and thicken up in the bottle.

If you believe the polish is faulty, please take a photo of the faulty product, (preferably once applied), and send it to info@glazeme.com.au. We will organise a solution for you as soon as possible.
