HOW TO USE:
STEP 1: SELECT TIP SIZES AND ADJUST LED LAMP
Set up all your supplies. Select the right size of gel tips for each of your natural nails. Make sure it covers the entire nail without any overhang. If you are between sizes, select the larger size and shape it down as needed. Lay out Gel Tips in the order you plan to use them for easy access during application. Next, adjust your LED Lamp. Set up your lamp with enough height so that there is sufficient space for both hands to enter under the LED light (see Step 4).
PRO TIP: Remember to check each nail as nail sizes can vary between hands.
STEP 2: PREP NATURAL NAILS
For best results, cut your natural nails as short as possible. Clean up cuticles and push them back with a cuticle pusher. Lightly buff the surface of your nails to remove any shine and create a slightly rough texture for better adhesion. Remove oil and dust with nail cleanser (or prep pad) .
STEP 3: APPLY GEL TIPS
Apply one thin coat of Nail Extension Glue (sold separately) on the surface of your natural nail and cure it for 60 seconds under Demi LED lamp (one cycle).
Take one nail extension tip and apply a thin layer of nail glue on the underside matte area of the tip. Then, apply a second, slightly thicker layer of glue to the bottom half of your natural nail. Place the nail tip on your natural nail at a 45-degree angle. Start from the cuticle and gently press the tip down against your nail until it is completely covering the natural nail.
PRO TIP: Do this step slowly and ensure that there are no air bubbles trapped underneath. If you do get air bubbles, remove the tip and start the process over with a new nail tip.
STEP 4: CURE GEL TIPS
Holding the nail tip with your other hand (pressing it down), immediately flash cure the nail for 5-10 seconds under the LED lamp. Release both hands and cure only the nail tip for a full 60 seconds using Demi LED lamp.
PRO TIP: You may experience a light, burning sensation when curing. This is normal. Flash-curing the nail about 3-4 inches from the LED light will help.
STEP 5: SHAPE AND FILE
After applying and curing each nail, you may use a nail clipper and nail file to trim and shape the tips to your desired length and shape. Use a file and take your time to achieve the perfect shape and smooth out any rough edges for a flawless finish.
PRO TIP: We recommend filing and shaping the nail after tip application as it is easier to apply the nail tip when it is longer.
STEP 6: PAINT WITH GEL POLISH (OPTIONAL)
You are now ready to paint your nails!
- Buff the surface of each nail tip and wipe with nail cleanser.
- Apply a VERY thin (barely there) layer of gel polish. Cure the nail immediately for 60 seconds under Demi LED lamp. If your nail is still sticky, cure for an additional 15-30 seconds.
- Apply a second layer of gel polish and cure again.
- If needed or desired (for more opaque coverage), repeat step 3.
- Voila! Your manicure is complete!
HOW TO REMOVE:
Start by trimming the tips of the gel nail extensions using nail clippers or manicure scissors. Next, file the surface of the nail tip to break and remove the top layer of gel polish. Soak off the remaining gel polish by wrapping cotton pads soaked in acetone around each nail and securing aluminum foil around the nails. Alternatively, you can use cotton pads soaked with acetone and LMM Gel Removal Clips for a secure and airtight fit, enhancing the removal process. Allow the nails to soak for 15 minutes. Gently push off the remaining nail extension tips after soaking and buff the natural nail to complete the removal process.
As an alternative and for faster & easier removal, use our Artificial Nail Glue Remover Pen (sold separately). Squeeze and apply liquid from the pen all around the edges of the extension tips (along your cuticles). Wait a few seconds. Lift off extension tips. If needed, add more liquid and wait for longer before lifting off.
