how to apply uv gel false nails properly with out going to a technician. i have all the right gear?

Answer 1

APPLYING THE GEL EXTENSION FORMS
1. Get out one gold gel form.
2. Cut the back of form with your straight scissors - at the other end fold at #7 on the form and pinch together at the very tip.
3. With your index finger and thumb, squeeze the form and gently slide it up under the real nail. When the form is in place make sure to squeeze the sides of the gold form together so it sticks to the finger.

APPLYING THE BASE GEL TO GET THE EXTENSION

4. Now it is time for the Base Gel. To apply Angel Love Nail Extension, hold the nail at a downward angle. Starting in the center of the nail just below the cuticle, place a small drop of Base Gel keeping the bottle at an angle.
5. Run a narrow line of Base Gel down center of the nail to the length of the form you desire. Go across at the number length you desire. Go across the end and up both sides of the nail making sure there is a nice even coat of gel covering the entire nail.
6. Turn nail upside down, check all 5 angles of the nail.
7. If your nail and extension pass inspection, quickly put in front of UV lamp. If there is no heat within 10 seconds with lamp in up position, then set nails in lamp.
8. Lower lamp half way down if no heat within 10 seconds. Then, close lamp down for another 1-2 minutes.
9. Take extension form off gently. If not fully cured under extension, 0put back in lamp with nail upside down. Cure for additional 1 minute. Take out.

FINISHING THE EXTENSION

10. Now, with your file, gently shape the top of your new nail, making sure it is smooth.
11. Remember when you have a good base, the final product will look much better.
12. Use your nailbrush to clean off around the cuticle and the nail. Use your dome duster to dust off hands and clean your area free from nail dust.
13. Now you are ready to apply color tips, white tips, glitter tips. Let your imagination go!

BUILDER FINISH

1. Put a small line of BUILDER FINISH down the center of the nail. Use your gel brush to brush a Flow Coat over the entire nail.

2. Holding the nail at a downward angle, put a line down the center of the nail so that layer #1 is even with the bulk of your product in layer #2.

3. Now, turn the nail upside down so you can see where the builder settles. Using the corner of the gel brush, pull the gel from the high spots into the low spots to equalize the gel. Make sure you have a nice arch from the cuticle to the end of the nail and then from side to side (this is called the C-Curve).

4. Lower lamp halfway down if no heat in 10 seconds. Close the lamp down to lowest height and cure for two minutes.

FINAL STEPS

1. Use your electric nail file and toothpick bit to clean under the nail.
2. Use the file in the filesaver to finish shaping the nail.
3. Dust off with nailbrush.
4. Apply cuticle oil.
5. Apply hydrating massage cream.
