Protocol Kit 1218

PROTOCOL for the GEL KIT ref 1218

  1. Hand washing:
    • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap to remove any oil or dirt residue, then disinfect them.
  2. Nail preparation:
    • Remove any existing nail polish using nail polish remover.
    • Cut and file your nails into the desired shape.
    • Gently push back the cuticles using a wooden stick.
Tips: The small dead skin cells on the nail surface must be removed, as gel cannot adhere properly to an oily surface like skin.
  1. Filing:
    • Gently file the surface of your nails using a nail file without applying too much pressure to mattify the nail and create a more adhesive surface without damaging the nail.
  2. Dusting:
    • Use a dusting brush and a cotton pad soaked in cleaner to remove dust from the nails and degrease the nail.
  3. Application of Nail Prep and Acid-Free Primer:
    • Apply a thin layer of Nail Prep without touching the cuticles and leave to air dry.
    • Apply a thin layer of Acid-Free Primer without touching the cuticles and leave to air dry.
  4. Application of Soft Gel Coffin XL Tips:
    • Choose each tip that best fits each of your nails.
      If you cannot find the perfect size, choose a larger tip and file it to fit your nail.
    • Apply a small amount of nail glue into the groove of the tip, then apply it to the edge of your nail, pressing for 7 seconds. Check that there are no bubbles between the tip and the natural nail and that the tip is straight relative to your finger.

  5. Application of Monophase Cover Gel:
    • Scoop up a large ball of gel using your rounded brush, then place it 3mm away from your cuticles (without touching them).
      With your brush floating on the surface of the gel (without pressing too hard), gently push the gel toward the cuticles, then start making small circles so that the gel spreads evenly over the entire surface of the nail and the tip. Add more gel if necessary. Keep in mind that the gel will be thicker on your natural nail and thinner on the free edge of the tip.
    • Cure for 3 minutes under the UV/LED lamp.
      If you are satisfied with the application of your gel, you can then degrease it using a cotton pad soaked in cleaner.
    • Then file the surface of your gel evenly to shape it. Try to keep the sides parallel and the top rounded.
      Dust off with the brush, then degrease your gel using a cotton pad soaked in cleaner.
  6. Application of French Manicure or Colored Gel:
For French Manicure
  • You will use the Liner Brush and the Semi-Permanent White Polish to achieve this.
  • Apply white polish to the liner brush, then draw the edges of your French Manicure and fill in the rest with the polish brush.
  • When you are satisfied with your French Manicure, cure for 60 seconds under the UV/LED lamp.

For Colored Gel
  • Apply 2 coats of colored gel using your rounded brush, then cure each coat for 30 to 60 seconds under the UV/LED lamp.
    Do not degrease between coats.
  1. Application of Mirror Top Coat:
    • Apply a layer of Mirror Top Coat that is not too thick, then cure for 60 seconds under the UV/LED lamp.
      This Top Coat is residue-free, it does not have a sticky layer, and it is not necessary to degrease.

  2. Nail Art (Optional):
    • Chrome Powder: Apply the powder over your Mirror Top Coat, then rub it with your finger.
    • Apply a thin layer of Mirror Top Coat over it, then cure for 60 seconds to set the powder on your application.
  3. Hydration:
    • Finish by applying a cuticle oil to nourish your nails and cuticles.

Additional tips:
  • Do not open your polishes and gels in sunlight or in front of a turned-on UV/LED lamp, as this may cause them to harden in their bottles and jars.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals on your nails to prolong the wear of the polish.
