French Tip Gel Extensions Kit

APPLICATION 

1. For the perfect nail prep, please ensure you have read and followed our detailed ‘How To’ guide under ‘Nail Preparation’ HERE.

2. Starting from your pinky and working towards your thumb, apply a thin layer of 2in1 Base Coat and Extension Gel Adhesive in the middle of your nail, leaving space around the sides and cuticle.

3. Underneath your French Tip Gel Nail Extension, add a drop of 2in1 Base Coat and Extension Gel Adhesive to the side where the extension meets your cuticle edge.

4. Prepare your Flash Cure Lamp for application (ensure it's turned on), then adhere your French Tip Gel Extensions starting from the cuticle and working towards the free edge. 

NOTE: If you notice any bubbles under the extension, gently lift and reapply more gel as needed. The application process should be smooth without the need for excessive pressure. Likewise, if the gel overflows onto your cuticles after applying the extension, remove the extension and wipe off all the excess gel from your nail and cuticle using 100% Isopropyl Alcohol. Then, repeat the process. These issues may occur initially but should not happen once you become accustomed to applying your French Tip Gel Nail Extensions

5. Hold and Flash cure each extension under the Flash Cure Lamp for 10 seconds. Once all nails are done, place your hand under our Nail Lamp for 60 seconds to fully cure the extensions into place.

6. After applying and curing each extension, apply one coat of 2in1 Base Coat and Extension Gel Adhesive on top, then cure for 60 seconds. This step is crucial to prevent chipping of the white tip.

7. Complete your manicure by applying one coat of Optional Top Coat, ensuring to cap the free edge, and then cure for 60 seconds.

PRO TIP: Simplify the application process by starting with your pinky and working towards your index finger when applying the French Tip Gel Extensions. Save both thumbs for last to make the process easier.

REMOVAL

1. Trim your Gel Nail Extensions to match your natural nail length using our Pro Nail Cutter.

2. To remove your French Tip Gel Extensions, utilise the Extension Removal File  to file off all gel until you reach your extension. Alternatively, you can use a 100/180 Grit Nail File or Hard Buffer. 

3. Apply two coats of our One Step Gel Remover, ensuring careful application to avoid contact with the skin. Allow 30 seconds between each coat.

4. Allow 3-5 minutes for our One Step Gel Remover to effectively penetrate the Gel Extension. Sensations of slight tightness indicate the lifting of the gel extension from the nail, which is a normal occurrence and will subside.

5. Once you observe your extensions becoming gooey in texture, place your nails (one at a time) on a tissue. Using the flat edge of our Pro Scraper Tool, push the extension down towards the tissue. Note that the extensions will solidify after removal, so it's essential to complete this step on a tissue.

6. If any excess Gel Extension remains, repeat the aforementioned process.

7. Use our Soft Buffer Block to gently remove any remaining residue.

8. Give your hands a wash, and you are ready for your next manicure!

For gel storage: Store your gel polish upright in a cool, dry, dark place. Seal caps tightly, clean bottle necks after use, and avoid heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to maintain consistency and prevent clumping. For best quality, use within 12 months of opening.

To clean your tools: Using a cotton pad and 100% isopropyl alcohol, wipe down your tools and allow to air dry before storing. This will effectively remove gel and buildup while also sanitising your tools. To maintain quality and hygiene, we recommend cleaning your tools before and after each manicure.
