How To Apply

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Preparing the Nails: Begin with cuticle care, gently pushing them back to reveal more of the nail surface, ensuring an even application space. Trimming excess cuticles is vital, as neglecting this can cause the gel to peel from the edges. Handle this step with caution to prevent harm.
2. Priming the Surface: Use a fine-grit file (180 or 200-grit) to lightly rub the nail surface lightly, enhancing adhesion. After buffing, eliminate all traces of dust and debris using a brush, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a nail cleanser. Post-cleansing, avoiding direct contact with your nails is imperative to keep them pristine.
3. Initiating Adhesion: Apply a sparing layer of primer bonder across the nail surface, forming an adhesive foundation that solidifies the gel’s attachment, which is particularly critical for nails with adhesion challenges.
4. Applying Rubber Base: With a fine brush, gently lay a balanced rubber base coat onto the nail. Prioritize maintaining lean, uniform coatings to circumvent heat surges during curing and potential detachment. For an aesthetically pleasing apex or curvature, administer a secondary coat, concentrating on the nail's midpoint. Seal the perimeters meticulously to ward off premature edge lifting. Employ the ‘Flip Finger’ technique pre-curing to allow the gel to level itself naturally.
5. Curing Process: Position the nails under an LED lamp for a 60-second. Utilizing a top-tier 48 Watts Dual UV/LED Nail Lamp, emitting 365nm+405nm, is paramount for an even, thorough cure. Under-cured applications may compromise durability and hypoallergenic properties.
6. Concluding with Top Coat: Apply a layer of your preferred glossy top coat, encapsulating your artwork and adding a lustrous finish. Pay attention to sealing the nail’s tip and complete a 60-second cure.

Pro Tips and Best Practices:

• Controlled Application: A thick rubber base application may induce a heat spike during curing. Adopting a gradual approach is advisable, starting with thinner layers and adding more as required.

• Inhibition Layer Note: After curing, a sticky residue, known as the inhibition layer, is normal and beneficial for subsequent layering. After the final top coat application and cure, it will be integrated and vanish.
• Handling Short Nails: For extremely short nails, it’s advisable to wait for at least 1mm of growth beyond the nail bed before application to ensure a secure gel sealing, minimizing early peeling incidents.
• Maintenance for Longevity: The rubber base’s resilience is influenced by external conditions like manual labor, frequent water contact, or chemical exposure. Periodic inspections and prompt touch-ups can prolong your manicure’s lifespan.

How to remove it?

File the top coat gently with a 100 Grit Nail File or you can use a drill with a medium ceramic drill.
Use a UV/LED polish nail remover or soak a cotton ball with acetone, place it on each nail and wrap each nail in foil for 10-15 minutes to allow the cotton ball with acetone to soften the rubber base.

Use a cuticle stick or cuticle pusher to gently remove the softened lacquer from the cuticle area toward the tip of the nail. If you notice that you need to soften a little more as you remove the soft layer, you should moisten the cotton with acetone and place it on the nail for a few minutes until it is completely removed.

Lightly buff the nails again when the varnish is completely removed.
