I have my own nails finally!
Instructions are to put two coats on your natural nails if using alone.  If using with polish, put one coat on your nails, color, then use almost gel as your top coat. You are to repeat every three days.  Follow the instructions depending if I want clear or color however I don't really need to remove my color every three days. I just put more top coat on. My nails grow fast (also with the help of Great Lakes Gelatin powder)[[ASIN:B005KG7EDU Great Lakes Gelatin, Collagen Hydrolysate (Kosher) 16-Ounce, packaged as individuals]].  The gelatin helps to build nice strong nails that grow rather quickly.  The Almost Gel does harden the nails so even if you catch your nail it seems better protected and doesn't split.  I think it is great stuff!  I will keep it in my arsenal!
