Preparation.
File the nails and roughen the nail plate with the nail file. Then degrease the nails with a Cleaner Wipe and finish your preparation with the Prep Booster by applying it all over the nail plate. Let this air dry for 30 seconds.
In the next three steps, prevent the gel polish from coming into contact with the skin and cuticles to minimize the risk of a possible acrylate allergy. If any polish touches the skin, remove it immediately with a wood stick, corrector pen, or a wipe with cleaner before curing under the lamp.
Step 1: Applying Build it Base
1. Apply a thin slip layer, keeping a 1 mm distance from the cuticles. Cure for 120 seconds under the LED Lamp. A slip layer is a thin coat that improves grip for the second layer of Build it Base.
2. Take a small amount of Build it Base and apply it at the base of the nail. Gently spread the gel towards the sides and the tip using our Fine Liner, ensuring even coverage. Cure again for 120 seconds under the LED lamp.
Repeat this step for each finger.
TIP:Want to create extra curvature? Before curing, turn your hand upside down for a few seconds to let the gel flow toward the center of the nail.
Step 2: The Finishing Touch
You can apply a Top Coat directly or choose to apply a gel polish colour over the Build it Base.
1. Apply the gel polish colour of your choice, keeping a 1 mm distance from the cuticles. Cure for 60 seconds under the LED Lamp. Repeat for full coverage.
2. Apply a thin layer of Top Coat and cure under the lamp for 60 seconds. Let nails cool for 60 seconds after curing before wiping off the sticky layer with Cleaner.
Extra care.
Apply Cuticle Oil to your cuticles and massage gently.
