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.

STEP 5

Very carefully remove the forms.

STEP 6

Wipe the inhibition layer from the gel and file the Perception gel to leave an extension of around 0.5mm. This is just enough to enclose the free edge of the natural nail.

STEP 7

Apply 2 or 3 coats of LeChat Nobility clear soak off gel, curing between each layer.

STEP 8

Because there was a ridge where the Perception gel joined on to the free edge of the natural nal, there will be a slightly uneven surface now the overlay has been applied. To refine the surface you must now use a 180 grit file to finish. You may do this on the last layer of Nobility gel, but to make filing even easier I apply a layer of Lechat Gelee top gel [pink or clear] and file onto this layer. As it has a firmer finish than the Nobility gel I find it an easier and faster way to get a perfect surface. Be sure you dont file away the gel that encloses the free edge of the natural nail.

STEP 9

After filing with the 180 grit file, buff with a white block and cleanse the nails.

STEP 10

a


A coat of LeChat Gelee top gel is applied and cured.

STEP 11

Apply polish and nailart as required and finish with a little LeChat Nobility cuticle oil.
