Gel Polish Application

Step 1 – Nail Prep

•  Push back cuticles.
•  Remove any excess dead tissue from the surface of the nail (technique of your choice: classic, e-file, or combined).
•  Shape and buff the surface of the natural nails with a 240-grit file or buffer to improve product adherence.
•  Remove dust with lint-free wipes or a brush soaked in cleanser.

 Step 2 – Gel Polish Application

• Apply a thin layer of Acid-Free Primer on ¾ of the nail, avoiding cuticles and sidewalls. Allow 30 seconds to dry and evaporate, leaving a slight residue on the nail surface.
•  Apply Extreme Rubber Base with rubbing movements into the nail plate. Cure for 60 seconds.
•  Apply the first coat of gel polish and cure for 60 seconds.
•  Apply a second coat if necessary and cure for 60 seconds.
• Apply Crystal Top (no wipe) and cure for 60 seconds.
• Allow the top coat to cool for 60 seconds. Rushed application of oil or cream may cause the top coat to lose shine.
•  Finish by applying cuticle oil or cream.

 Important:

•  Gel polish can be applied over BIAB, Cover Base, Hard Gel, or nail extensions.
•  Without overlays, gel polish typically lasts 2–4 weeks.
•  For long wear, refer to the BIAB / Cover Base / Hard Gel Guide.
  

BIAB/Cover Base Application

Step 1 – Nail Prep

• Push back cuticles.
• Remove any excess dead tissue from the surface of the nail (classic, e-file, or combined technique).
• Shape and buff the surface of the natural nails with a 240-grit file or buffer to improve product adherence.
• Remove dust with lint-free wipes or a brush soaked in cleanser.

 Step 2 – BIAB / Cover Base Application

• Apply a thin layer of Acid-Free Primer on ¾ of the nail, avoiding cuticles and sidewalls. Allow 30 seconds to dry.
• Apply Rubber Base with rubbing movements into the nail plate. Cure for 60 seconds.
• Apply one thin layer of BIAB / Cover Base to create a gliding surface (do not cure). Ensure it covers sidewalls and is applied as close as possible to the cuticle.
• Apply a small bead (1 mm away from the cuticle) and spread it toward the free edge.
• Turn the nail upside down at a 45° angle to even out the surface and create the apex. Use a thin brush if necessary.
• Turn the hand every 10 seconds to allow the gel to level evenly. Cure for 60 seconds in low-heat mode to avoid heat spikes, or use a 24-watt lamp setting.
• Apply Crystal Top (no wipe) and cure for 60 seconds.
• Allow the top coat to cool for 60 seconds. Applying oil or cream too quickly may cause it to lose shine.
• Finish by applying cuticle oil or cream.

Important:

•  BIAB and Cover Bases are highly recommended for short to medium-length nails.
•  For long nails, use Hard Gel.
