The application process is very simple. However, it is important to keep a few factors in mind beforehand. Before the actual application, perform a nail diagnostic.
If the nails are healthy and undamaged, follow these steps:
1.Disinfect the nails and hands (Pro Sanitiser) – Before every nail treatment, spray and disinfect hands and nails with a sanitising product.
2.Perform a classic nail preparation (cuticle care, buffing the nail plate) – Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back the cuticles and remove as much cuticle as possible from the nail bed. Trim any excess cuticle with cuticle scissors. Use 240 grit nail file to prep the whole nail plate before applying the product.
3. The builder gel can be applied on natural nails, nail forms, or tips – depending on your preference. It is suitable for strengthening natural nails as well as extending them to the desired shape
4. Cleanse and degrease the nail with a acetone. Thoroughly wipe the entire nail plate, including the nail side walls (the areas along the sides of the nail). Important: Do not touch the cleaned nail afterwards.
5. Apply a thin layer of ceramic base coat. Apply a very thin layer of gel onto the prepared nail - try to “rub” a product into nail plate for better adhesion and final fixation layer. Cure for 60 seconds in a dual wavelength UV/LED lamp (48W or higher).
6. Apply a thin slip layer (don’t cure yet) and than “bead” of gel with a brush onto the slip layer and gently spread it over the entire nail. Concentrate a thicker layer along the center length of the nail, then lightly spread it towards the sides. To apply gel around the cuticle area use a detail brush. Application is simple thanks to the gel’s self-leveling properties. Before curing the nail in the lamp, briefly turn it upside down (180°) – the self-leveling gel will create a perfect shape, eliminating the need for additional filing.
7. Cure in a dual wavelength UV/LED lamp (48W or higher) for 90 seconds -low heat mode , or in a traditional UV lamp for 2–4 minutes. Recommendation: after finishing whole hand cure for additional 30 seconds to prevent any under curing issues. After curing wipe nail with acetone and apply color or top coat (no need to buff )
