How to use Polygel nails - Guide
- Preparation: Start by cleaning your hands and nails thoroughly. Remove any old nail polish.
- Push Cuticles: Gently push cuticles back with a cuticle stick.
- File the nail surface: Use a nail file to create a slightly rougher surface on your natural nails. This helps the polygel adhere better.
- Use Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of Base Coat and cure in UV Nail Lamp. Follow the instructions for your specific lamp regarding timing.
- Choose the right shape: Choose a suitable Dual Form that fits each nail.
- Apply Polygel: Apply the Polygel to the inside of the mold. Use the spatula to pick up the Polygel and place it on the template or tip.
- Mold the Polygel: Use Slip Solution to mold the Polygel evenly over the template or tip.
- Attach to the nail: When you are happy with the shape, place the template or tip on your natural nail and press gently to adhere.
- Curing in a UV Nail Lamp: Place your nails in a UV Nail Lamp to cure the Polygel.
Follow the instructions for your specific lamp regarding timing. - Shaping and filing: After curing, remove the template if you used one, then file the nail to the desired shape and length.
- Finish with Top Coat: Apply a layer of top coat to give a shiny finish and protect the Polygel. Cure again in UV nail lamp. Follow the instructions for your specific lamp regarding timing.
- Clean the nail surface: If there is a sticky film on the nails after curing, remove any sticky residue with Alcohol or Slip Solution.
NOTE:
Make sure none of the products end up on the cuticle, remove everything quickly if this happens.
