How to Use

Prep: Cleanse, dehydrate, and lightly etch the natural nail. Apply pH Bonder and Non-Acidic Primer (optional).

Sizing: Apply a Bare Gel-X® Tip without pressing down too hard. The tip should fit sidewall to sidewall with no pinching. Once the correct size is chosen, etch the underside with Gel-X Prep®.

Apply: Apply Extend Gel Non-Wipe on the natural nail and cure. Apply a bead of Extend Gel onto the tip and gently apply at a 45-degree angle. Flash cure until all five fingers are applied. Then fully cure in an LED lamp for 30 seconds.

Customize: Remove the hexagonal handle and trim and shape as desired. Etch the surface with Gel-X Prep®, then apply a Gel Couleur of your choice. Finish with Top Gelcoat X or Builder Top Gelcoat.
