Step 1: Prepare your nails
Use the cuticle stick provided to gently push back your cuticles.
Using a pink double sided buffer or a larger, 4 sided buffer- as featured in this video buff the nail plate until all the shine has gone and the nail is matte.
TOP TIP: Buff in 1 direction across the nail to ensure heat does not build up in the nail plate and cause thinning.
File the nails to the desired shape.
Use the smoothing side of the buffer to smooth out any bumps or ridges on the nail.
Wash your nails using washing up liquid to remove all oils and fibers from the nail plate.
TOP TIP: Avoid using hand soaps as many of these contain moisturising products which will add oil back into the nail and adversely affect polish adherence.
Apply cleanser to the lint free wipes and sweep over the nail.
Apply the Gel Primer to your nail.
TOP TIP: apply primer based on your nail type. Do you have normal/dry nails? Apply primer only on the tip and around the edges of your nail. Oily nails? Apply primer as you would nail polish, across the full nail.
Leave this to air dry for 30 seconds.
Step 2: Paint your nails
Use the Gel Top and Base Coat available in your kit to paint your nails.
TOP TIP: Ensure you ‘cap’ the end of your nail by tracing the brush along the tip of your nail. Avoid the skin and cuticle.
Cure this for 15 seconds.
Then, apply a thin coat of your chosen colour. We’ve used Dizzy Daisy, available here
Cure this for 30 seconds and repeat the step as desired and until opaque coverage is achieved. We used 3 coats for this look.
Apply Gel Base and Top coat, remembering to cap.
Cure for 15 seconds.
Wipe away the tacky layer using cleanser and a lint free wipe.
Et Voila, perfect prep is complete!
