Directions:
PREP, APPLY, TRIM, CURE, FILE
• PREP: Push cuticle back, buff nails to clean, wipe nails with included cleanser pad to remove any oil.
• APPLY: Match gel nail sizes to finger nails. If nails are in between nail piece sizes, select smaller size and stretch it gently to fit nail beds. Apply to nail, making sure edges are firmly pressed down on sides and near cuticle line. You can use wooden stick, silicon tips, or your fingers to press down.
• TRIM: Cut excess nail wrap with nail clipper or scissor.
• CURE with UV Lamp. Cure times:
* Zinipin & UUUUU - cure 1 to 2 minutes under a 6W lamp. These cure super fast.
* EdgeU, Gelato Factory, and Ohora - cure 2 to 3 minutes under a 6W lamp.
• FILE to finish. File off gel that extends past natural nail tip unless you plan to use gel as extension. See Pro Tips if using gel as extension.
• OPTIONAL (but highly recommended) – Apply Gel Top Coat. Applying Gel Top Coat requires curing nails again.
DRIP, SOAK, LIFT, REPEAT
• DRIP: For each nail, apply two or three drops of removing serum at edge where nail meets skin and at free edge of nails.
- If you do not have removing serum, you can make your own by mixing acetone and cuticle oil but the removing serum is highly recommended. Our removing serums are packed full of nutrients and do not have the chemical odors found in acetone.
- If you capped the free edge of your nails with top gel, file off the top coat at tip before adding the remover serum at the tip.
• SOAK: Let removing serum soak into nails for a minute before starting the gel removal process.
• LIFT: Use included wood nail stick to lift gel sticker off nail. Start from lower part of nail and work up towards nail tip. For best results do this slow and steady.
• REPEAT: If your gel sticker is still strongly bonded with your nail, apply additional serum between the gel sticker and nail and continue lifting gel nail off with wooden nail tool. Generous amounts of removing serum will help the nail safely separate from the gel without any damage to nails.
