Step 1

PREP

Remove any polish before beginning nail prep.

Trim and file nails (white side of file).

Wash hands and use prep pad to clean and dehydrate nail beds.

Push back cuticles using wooden manicure stick.

Lightly buff nail beds (pink side of file).

Step 2

SIZE & APPLY

Select nail tips for each nail. If in between sizes, size down or file a larger nail tip to fit.

Evenly spread a thin layer of soft gel glue to the bottom half of the pre-buffed (matte) section of the nail tip.

Apply nail tip from cuticle line to free edge to spread glue evenly, without releasing just yet.

If glue feels hardened in the tube or will not come out, put the cap back on and place it in a bowl of warm water for 2-3 minutes, until glue softens to a gel-like consistency.*

*When exposed to cold temperatures during shipping, glue may harden. Warm water will soften it back to its original consistency.

PRO TIP: If the glue does not fill the entire nail or if air bubbles have occurred, remove nail tip, apply more glue, and readjust before curing.

PRO TIP: If too much glue is used and floods onto cuticles or skin, wipe off glue before curing and re-apply.

Step 3

CURE

Keep pressure on the nail tip & cure under the GelXtend LED lamp for 60 seconds.*

To keep the light on, ensure your finger stays in contact with the sensor.

*Lamp will automatically turn off after 60 seconds.

PRO TIP: For sheer color and design nails, cure 2x for 60 seconds. For darker ombrés and french tips, cure a second time upside down for 60 seconds to ensure the light reaches the glue.

PRO TIP: Rotate the lamp as needed for an easier application process and tightly fasten the cap for the glue to prevent from drying out.
