Step 1: Nail preparation
- Disinfect hands
Start by disinfecting both your own hands and your client's hands to ensure hygiene during the treatment.
- Care for the Cuticles
Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back the cuticles. If you have the right knowledge, perform an E-manicure. Remove excess cuticles with cuticle nippers or scissors for a neat finish.
- File the Nails into Shape
File the nails into the desired shape with a 180 grit file. Ensure even edges and a uniform shape.
- Dull the Nail Plate
Lightly file the nails with a 240 grit file to remove the natural shine from the nail surface. This ensures better adhesion. File carefully to avoid damaging the nail plate.
- Remove Dust Residue
Brush the nail clean with a dust brush and 70% alcohol, removing any dust.
- Degrease and Clean
Thoroughly clean the nail surface with 100% pure acetone to remove any grease from the nail plate.
Step 2: Apply Ultra Bond
- Apply Ultra Bond
Apply a thin layer of The Gel Expert Ultra Bonding to the nail plate. This creates extra adhesion between the natural nail and BLISS™. Air dry for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Apply Rubber Base Coat
- Apply Rubber Base Coat
Apply a thin layer of The GEL Expert Rubber Base Coat to the prepared nail plate. For extra strength, you can create a small curve in the middle of the nail.
