Application Guide

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.
