Question 1

How do I apply LMM gel polish?

Accepted Answer

If you are new to gel polish, allow yourself 2–3 practice manicures to become familiar with the process. Our gel is a 1-step formula (base, color, and top in one), but the way you apply it matters a lot. Start by gently pushing back cuticles (optional), trim any loose skin, and file both the edge and surface of each nail to help adhesion. Use very thin first coat (wipe off excess from brush) and cure each nail immediately. If any polish touches the skin, remove it before curing. Then apply a second, slightly thicker coat and cure again (capping the nail tips). Let the lamp rest between hands so it cools down. Close or cap your polish bottle whenever possible during the curing process and shake well before each use, because the formula can separate. Over time, if you experience chipping, cure for an additional 5–10 seconds.

Question 2

What are some application dos and don’ts for LMM gel polish?

Accepted Answer

### Application Do’s
• Push back your cuticles or trim any loose skin if necessary (optional) 
• File both the edges and surface of your nails (in one direction) to improve adhesion 
• Use an ultra-thin first coat (wipe excess off the brush) 
• Remove gel polish from the skin before curing 
• Cure each nail right after applying it to minimize air exposure 
• Apply a second, more even coat and cure again 
• Cap the nail tip by brushing the edge to reduce chipping 
• Let the lamp cool between curing hands 
• Always close or cover the bottle between uses 
• Shake the bottle well before each use (because it’s a 3-in-1 formula)

### Application Don’ts
• Do not apply lotion or cuticle oil before or during the gel application process 
• Do not buff your nails after filing (buffing smooths the surface and reduces adhesion) 
• Do not get gel on your skin; if it happens, remove before curing 
• Do not apply gel polish in direct sunlight or bright light—light exposure can prematurely cure or thicken the formula.

Question 3

What’s the difference between LED and UV lamps? Which type does Le Mini Macaron use?

Accepted Answer

LED lamps use LED light (similar to office lighting) to cure gel polish, while UV lamps use ultraviolet rays. LED is considered safer (lower energy radiation) and usually cures faster. All of Le Mini Macaron’s lamps use **LED light**, not UV. LED lamps also tend not to heat up like UV bulbs, and the LED bulbs do not need frequent replacement.

Question 4

How do I remove LMM gel polish?

Accepted Answer

To remove your gel manicure: 
1. Gently file the surface of your gel manicure (just the top layer) — you don’t need to file down to your natural nail. 
2. Use a gel polish remover wrap: place the cotton pad with acetone over the nail, wrap it airtight (you may use remover clips for better contact). 
3. Wait about 15 minutes until the gel softens and begins to flake. 
4. Remove the packet and gently scrape off the gel using a gel polish remover tool or cuticle stick. 
5. Wash hands to remove debris. If cuticles are dry, apply hand cream. 
6. If you want to give your nails a break or rebuild them, use **Rescue Moi** (with Vitamin B5 & C) for one week to help restore the nail surface.

Question 5

I followed all instructions but my gel polish still chips after 2–3 days. What can I do?

Accepted Answer

If chipping still occurs, this may be due to natural oils present on your nails (affecting 20% of women). As a solution, after filing your nails you can wipe each nail with regular nail polish remover to remove dust and oils, creating a clean, non-oily surface on which to start your application.

Question 6

Can I use LMM Nailcare products under gel polish?

Accepted Answer

LMM’s nail care line is intended for use between gel manicures to rebuild and nourish your nails, not as a base layer under gel polish. Using these treatments under gel may interfere with gel adhesion and cause chipping. However, you *can* apply LMM nail care products as a base for regular (air-dry) nail polishes. The cuticle oil is also safe to use after your gel manicure has cured—or between manicures—to moisturize your cuticles.

Question 7

Why is my gel polish hard or clumpy inside the bottle?

Accepted Answer

Gel polish is light-sensitive and reacts to air and lighting. If stored near windows or under bright lights, the gel may thicken or harden inside the bottle. When first opened, the formula may also seem thick—that’s normal. To prevent clumping: never keep the bottle open for extended periods, always cap or cover it during the curing process, avoid placing an open bottle near an active LED lamp, and store all bottles in a cool, dark place away from light exposure. Do not refrigerate them.

Question 8

Is LMM gel polish free of harmful ingredients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Le Mini Macaron’s gel polish is free of toluene, DBP, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor, TPHP, and xylene. Our polish is also cruelty-free (we do not test on animals) and vegan. All formulas comply with EU cosmetics safety standards.

Question 9

Are your products cruelty-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We do not test on animals. Our products follow EU regulatory standards, which include strict bans on animal testing. The EU bans over 1,300 ingredients in cosmetics (versus only 11 in the U.S.), and our compliance means our formulas are cruelty-free and safe for sale within the EU.

Question 10

Can I use LMM gel polish or LED lamp during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our products are safe to use during pregnancy. Our LED lamp uses low-energy light (not UV), and our formulas contain no harmful chemicals or fumes. That said, if you prefer to minimize your use of beauty products during pregnancy, that’s a personal decision.

Question 11

Can I use the power charger from the kit to charge my mobile phone?

Accepted Answer

No. The power charger included in the kit is designed exclusively for the LED lamp and is not intended for use with mobile phones or other electronics. Using it with other devices may cause overheating or damage. However, you may use the lamp’s USB cord with a computer, portable USB power bank, or mobile adapter as long as it powers only the LED lamp.

Question 12

I’ve never used an LED/UV lamp—what should I know?

Accepted Answer

Our lamps are LED-based (not UV). They cure gel quickly and safely. The mini version has a 30-second cycle, while the full-size “Maxi” lamp uses a 60-second cycle, both of which shut off automatically. Gel polish should be applied in ultra-thin layers; if you apply too thickly, it can feel warm or sting under the lamp. If the first cycle doesn’t fully cure it, you can simply run another cycle (or a few extra seconds) to complete the cure.

Question 13

What is the wattage or power of LMM lamps?

Accepted Answer

Our mini (single-finger, classic, or glitter) lamps are **3W** and require at least a 1A (1 amp) adapter. The full-size Le Maxi lamp is **5W** and requires a 2A (2 amp) or higher adapter.

Question 14

Will Le Mini Macaron’s LED lamp work with other brands of gel polish?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases it will. The lamp is compatible with high-quality gel polishes from other brands. However, curing times may vary depending on the brand and formula. If your polish isn’t fully cured after one cycle, you can run two or three cycles of 30 seconds each to complete the cure. Note: regular (non-gel) nail polish cannot cure under LED light—it requires air drying.

Question 15

Does LMM Nailcare need to be cured with an LED lamp?

Accepted Answer

No. All of our nail care products (strengtheners, treatments, etc.) air-dry naturally. You can apply one or two coats to bare nails and allow them to dry without any lamp.

Question 16

How long will my manicure last, and how can I make it last longer?

Accepted Answer

Our 1-step gel formula is designed to last up to **two weeks chip-free**. If you want to extend durability further, use our **Gel Top Coat** over your cured manicure and cure again—this can help it last up to **three weeks**, giving you a salon-quality, glossy finish with greater protection.

Question 17

How is gel polish different from regular nail polish?

Accepted Answer

Regular nail polish dries by air and can smudge or dent while drying, often requiring 20–30 minutes or more. In contrast, gel polish contains polymers that require curing under LED or UV light, making it instantly dry and durable. Gel polish is thicker, glossier, and longer-lasting (chip-resistant), but it also requires a soak-off removal method rather than a simple wipe-off like regular polish.

Question 18

Are UV lamps dangerous?

Accepted Answer

LED lamps emit far lower levels of UV radiation than traditional UV lamps, and Le Mini Macaron’s LED lamp uses even less exposure than typical UV devices. A single LED session emits less UV exposure than a 10-minute walk outside in the sun, making it relatively low risk.

Question 19

Can you have an allergy to gel polish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Some people with sensitive skin or a prior reaction to HEMA (a common gel ingredient) may experience an allergic response, especially if gel touches the skin. Always perform a patch or spot test on a single nail before full application. If you notice redness, itching, or irritation, discontinue use and consult a medical professional.

Question 20

Why is the gel polish so thick?

Accepted Answer

Gel polish has higher concentrations of resin and pigment to ensure adhesion, color intensity, and durability. Because it must cure evenly under light without spreading or pooling, the formula is inherently thicker than regular polish.

Question 21

Where should I store my gel polishes?

Accepted Answer

Store your gel polishes in a cool, dry, dark place (away from windows and light). Keep bottles tightly sealed when not in use to limit exposure to air and light. Avoid placing open bottles near LED lamps; never refrigerate them. The packaging itself is opaque and light-blocking to help protect the formula.

Question 22

How do I apply Le Sweet (traditional) nail polish?

Accepted Answer

Begin with clean, dry nails. Optionally apply a base coat, then brush on a thin, even layer of Le Sweet polish starting from the center outward. Let it air dry before applying a second coat if desired. Finish with a top coat for extra shine and durability.

Question 23

Do I need a base and top coat with Le Sweet nail polish?

Accepted Answer

Using a base coat is optional but helps with adhesion and protects your nails. A top coat helps extend wear and adds shine—often adding 2–3 extra days of durability. If you prefer simplicity, you can skip them, but your manicure may last longer with them.

Question 24

How can I make my Le Sweet manicure last longer?

Accepted Answer

Prep your nails by wiping with a cleanser pad to remove dust and oils (do not apply lotion first). Start with dry nails, apply base coat, then thin even layers of color, and finish with top coat. Avoid soaking nails in water and wear gloves during cleaning. Regular touch-ups and proper storage help maintain the look. With base + top coins, Le Sweet polish can last up to 8–9 days.

Question 25

Is Le Sweet nail polish compatible with other brands’ polishes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You may use other brands’ base and top coats with Le Sweet polish. However, for optimal results, we recommend staying within the Le Sweet line for best compatibility.

Question 26

What makes the Le Sweet brush applicator different from traditional applicators?

Accepted Answer

The Le Sweet brush is designed to deliver smooth, even coverage in a single coat. It adapts to nail shape and helps prevent drips and streaks—making it easier to get a flawless application no matter your nail style.

Question 27

What is the best way to store Le Sweet nail polishes?

Accepted Answer

Store Le Sweet bottles upright in a cool, light-free environment. Keep caps closed when not in use, avoid direct sunlight or bright light exposure, and maintain a stable room temperature (not too hot, not too cold). This helps preserve consistency and color quality.
