What is Gel?

Gel is a nail enhancement that provides flexible strength for nails and comes in a variety of amazing colors! They cure quickly in just 30-60 seconds under UV light so you can get on with your day. They last longer than air dry polish - up to 2 weeks - with shine that's out of this world.

DIP POWDER APPLICATION WITH LED/UV GEL LIQUIDS

1. Clean and shape the nails, apply Prep or isopropyl alcohol and let dry. 

2. Working one hand at a time, apply a thin even layer of UV/LED Base Gel and dip nail into the powder or pour the powder onto the nail. Tap off excess powder, gently press down the dip or glitter if needed, clean around cuticles and continue to the next finger being mindful that all the nails are still wet until they are cured under uv light. Clean skin and cure for 30-60 seconds in a UV/LED nail lamp, dust off excess powder and repeat for 2-3 coats on each nail. Remember to cap your edges.
3. Gently shape and roughly buff nails if needed. Cleanse excess dust with isopropyl alcohol.

4. Apply a thin layer of UV/LED No Wipe Top Gel, clean skin and cure for 30-60 seconds in a UV/LED nail lamp and moisturize with Cuticle Oil.

IMPORTANT: Clean any gel off the skin before curing to avoid developing allergies.

PRO TIPS

Liquid Care: Store liquids upright and away from light. Tap excess powder from nails to prevent over contamination.

Lifting Issues: Prep nails well removing all invisible cuticle, do not soak/wash hands in water and avoid oils or products with moisturizers prior to applying nail enhancements. Gently rough buff the nail surface using a 100-180 grit file for better gel adhesion. Consider using a Protein Bonder liquid prior to applying gels for oilier nail beds or consistent lifting issues.

      For Magnetic Gels: before curing, create shapes and visual effects using a magnetic wand to push the magnetic pigment to desired areas. Cure for 30-60 seconds. Repeat for another layer if desired.

      3. Apply a layer of Top Gel to seal in your nail art and fully cure.

      IMPORTANT: Clean any gel off the skin before curing to avoid developing allergies.

       BUILDER GEL APPLICATION

      1. Clean cuticles then shape and file nails. Wipe off dust with alcohol. To add length, put on a Nail Form or apply Tips and trim to desired length.

      2. Apply a layer of Base Gel. Clean skin and cure for 30 seconds under an LED lamp or 60 seconds under a UV lamp. 

      3. Apply a generous amount of Builder Gel to the center of the nail, float gel towards cuticle then extend to desired length. Build out the tips if using a nail form, picking up more gel if needed. Clean off skin and cure about 30-60 seconds depending on the nail lamp used.

      4. Apply a thinner layer of Builder Gel to the whole nail extending it out to the length. Then, apply a generous amount down the center of the nail floating the edges out to blend with the sides to create an apex for strength. Clean skin and fully cure for about 60 seconds. Remove nail form if used. Don’t worry if the edges look uneven.

      Optional: Hold nail upside down before curing for a couple seconds to encourage the gel to flow towards the center creating a natural apex.

      5. Apply a final layer of Builder Gel to the entire nail. Clean skin and fully cure about 30-60 seconds.

      6. Wipe the tacky dispersion layer off with alcohol, file and shape nails as desired and finish with Top Gel, polish, gel color or dip powder.

      IMPORTANT: Clean any gel off the skin before curing to avoid developing allergies. 

      PRO TIPS

      • Builder Gel has a very thick viscosity and will remain wet and movable until it is flash or fully cured. Flash cures in about 5-15 seconds, fully cures in 30-60 seconds depending on your lamp.
      • While applying gel, tilt the nail tip downward to keep the gel from flowing and pooling at the cuticle area.

      BASIC GEL REMOVAL

      1. File off the top layer of the gel.
      2. Soak nails in 100% acetone for ~10 minutes.
      3. Push softened or loose gel from nail. 
      4. Repeat step 2-3 until all gel has been removed.
        Do not pull or peel gel from nails. This can cause damage to the natural nail.

        REMOVER GEL INSTRUCTIONS: For Gel, Dip + Polish

        1. Gently file the surface of the nail enhancement, wipe excess dust with isopropyl alcohol and let dry.

        2. Apply a generous layer of Remover Gel to the nail enhancement and time for 2-3 minutes. Note: Reapply after 1 minute if it dries out on the nail.

        3. Gently scrape off any softened nail enhancement using a steel cuticle pusher, file the surface a little, wipe with isopropyl alcohol and let dry. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until all layers of product have been removed.

        4. Wash hands or wipe nails with alcohol to remove any remaining Remover Gel.

        PRO TIPS

        • Remover Gel is a very thick clear or cloudy gel consistency.  
        • Wipe the brush clean before returning it to the bottle to avoid contamination.
        • The number of rounds needed to remove any nail enhancement can vary depending on how many layers of polish, gel or dip used. Typically polish and gel will come off in 1-2 rounds, while dip may take 3-4+ rounds.
        • For best results, scrape off softened product before it dries on the nail.
        • Thinner nails may experience some heat or pressure. Remove if any pain occurs.
        • Avoid contact with skin. Wash thoroughly with soapy water or isopropyl alcohol to clean.
        Ingredients: AN-surfactants, BIO-cellulose, acrylate monomer, inorganic pigment.
