IBD 61178 Led / UV Builder Clear Hard Gel 56g/2oz (PAO24M)(Nail Art)

Application Tips:

• Prep the nails properly - ensure the nail surface is clean, dry, and lightly buffed to remove any oils or residue. This will help the gel adhere better.
• Apply the gel in thin, even coats. Avoid applying too thick of a layer, as this can lead to issues like air bubbles or uneven curing.
• Use a gel brush or applicator to smoothly apply the gel from the cuticle area to the nail tip. Gently stretch the gel to the edges without overworking it.
• Cap the free edge of the nail by applying a small amount of gel over the tip. This helps seal and reinforce the edges.
• Avoid getting the gel on the skin around the nails, as this can inhibit proper curing.

Curing Tips:

• Place the nails directly under the UV/LED lamp, making sure each nail is fully exposed to the light.
• Cure for the recommended time - 3-4 minutes under UV, or 4-5 minutes under LED. Ensure each layer is completely cured before applying the next.
• Rotate or move the hands slightly during curing to ensure even exposure on all areas of the nails.
• If the gel isn't fully cured, it can lead to peeling, lifting, or other issues down the line. It's better to over-cure than under-cure.
• You can use a gel top coat after the builder gel is cured for added shine and longer-lasting wear.

Gel Removal Process:

1. Prep the nails:

   • Lightly file the surface of the gel to break the shine and help the removal process.
   • Avoid over-filing, as this can damage the natural nails.

2. Soak the nails:

   • Soak the nails in 100% acetone for 10-15 minutes. This will help soften and dissolve the gel.
   • You can wrap the nails in foil or use nail clips to keep the acetone in contact with the gel.

3. Gently remove the gel:

   • After soaking, use an orange wood stick or cuticle pusher to gently lift and remove the softened gel.
   • Go slowly and avoid excessive scraping, as this can damage the natural nails.
   • If any gel remains, repeat the soaking and removal process.

4. Clean and condition the nails:

   • Once the gel is removed, clean the nails with a lint-free wipe to remove any residue.
   • Apply a nail conditioning product to rehydrate and strengthen the natural nails.

Removal Tips:

• Avoid using metal tools, as they can scratch or thin the nails.
• Be patient and gentle during the removal process to prevent damage.
• If the gel is not lifting easily, soak the nails for a longer time in acetone.
• After removal, give your nails a break before applying new gel or polish.
• Proper removal is key to maintaining the health of your natural nails.
