The advantages of the Nail Polish Cupio One Step Easy Off and Cupio One Step 3 in 1

• excellent quality/price ratio;

• simple and quick working technique similar to that of applying classic nail polish;

• very pigmented colors;

• easy removal of the nail polish during maintenance.

Is it easy to use the 3 in 1 Gel Polish?

Yes. Just follow the standard steps. 

How is the Nail Polish Cupio One Step applied?

• The natural nails are prepared following the standard method: cuticles are pushed back and cleaned, the natural shine of the nails is removed with a buffer file and dusted off with a special brush;

• Two thin, well-leveled layers of Cupio One Step nail polish are applied by brushing, similar to applying classic nail polish avoiding contact with the cuticle;

• Each layer requires curing for 30-60 seconds in an LED lamp or 2 min in a UV lamp. (for a better fixed shine, it is recommended to increase the curing time for the last layer of nail polish applied to 60-90 sec in an LED lamp and 3-4 min in a UV lamp). Fixing with cleaner is not necessary.

How is the Nail Polish Cupio One Step removed?

• The surface of the applied One Step nail polish is dulled with the help of a fine-grit file;

• In a container or special capsules, Soak Off Remover solution is poured, fingers are immersed in it. The nails should be soaked for 10-15 minutes;

• Alternatively, the nail polish can be removed using special wraps: the textil square is soaked with Soak Off solution, it is fixed on top of the nail plate, and the foil is firmly wrapped around the fingers;

• After 10-15 minutes, nails are taken out/the wraps are removed; Nail polish is removed from the nails with the help of a metal spatula.

Cupio ONE STEP Gel Polishes dry both under UV and LED lamps. For a much faster and professional application, we recommend the LED lamp, which represents the new trend in manicures.

Does the 3in1 Gel Polish  affect my nails?

Nail Polish, when used and removed correctly, has a very natural look and does not affect the nail in any way.

Do I still need to apply a base coat for darker pigments?

With Cupio's 3-in-1 nail polish, you do not need a separate base coat, even when using darker pigments. This innovative formula is designed to include base, color, and top coat in a single product—saving time while still offering long-lasting wear and strong adhesion.

However, if you’re working with very dark or highly pigmented shades, and your nails are prone to staining, you can optionally apply a protective base coat underneath. While it’s not required for adhesion or performance, it adds an extra barrier to preserve the natural nail color—especially for those with porous or sensitive nails.

In summary:

• ✅ Base coat not required with 3-in-1

• ✅ Optional if you want extra stain protection with dark colors

Cupio’s 3-in-1 range is formulated to simplify your routine while delivering professional-quality results—no extra steps needed unless you choose to personalize the process!

Can I use 3in1 Gel Polish with other types of polishes or nail ornaments?

Yes, Cupio’s 3-in-1 Gel Polish can be used with other products and nail art elements—with a few key tips to ensure proper application and durability.

✅ Using with Other Polishes:

• If you're layering regular nail polish over 3-in-1, be sure the gel is fully cured and the surface is cleansed. However, keep in mind that traditional polish may not adhere well to the smooth, sealed gel surface and won’t last as long.

• Do not apply 3-in-1 gel polish over regular nail polish, as it won’t bond correctly and can peel or wrinkle.

✅ Using with Nail Ornaments:

• You can apply rhinestones, foils, stickers, or chrome powders on top of the color layer (before the final curing step).

• For best results, secure ornaments with a thin layer of 3-in-1 gel or a small amount of gel glue, then cure under a UV/LED lamp.

• Finish with another thin layer of 3-in-1 to seal the design, if needed.

Pro Tip:

For more complex nail art, consider combining 3-in-1 with Cupio’s top coats or decorating gels, depending on the effect you want to achieve.

Cupio’s 3-in-1 formula is flexible enough to be used with other products, as long as you follow proper application steps. This makes it a great choice not only for quick manicures but also for customized nail designs and creative touches.
