TECHNICAL TIPS FOR APPLICATION OF SOAK OFF GELS on very thin flexible nails.


I know some of you struggle with the separation of the natural nail with soak off gels at the free edge area. So heres a method you might like to try, it stabilises the flimsy free edge and forms a hardwearing seal that prevents the 2 areas parting.
Unfortunately my only available model is my rather grubby 11 year old daughter !

STEP 1

Natural nails are prepared and shine is gently removed. Nobility Primebond is applied and the nails are cleansed and dehydrated with LeChat Nobility gel spray.

STEP 2

A very small amount of clear LeChat Nobility soak off gel is worked into the natural nail and cured for 2-3 minutes in a 9 watt or above U.V lamp.

STEP 3

LeChat reversible nail forms are fitted.

STEP 4

LeChat Perception gel is applied to the free edge[only] of the natural nail and brought slightly out onto the form. Cure for 2-3 minutes.
