Preparation:
A. Gently file the natural nails surface with a sand buffer
Then come the preparatory liquids in the following order:
B. First, use Nail Prep to ensure that the nail plate is degreased, dehydrated and cleaned, and to prevent fungal growth.
C. Next comes the Primer. There are two types to choose from: Acid Free Primer and Acidic Primer which help the gel polish to adhere better and properly to the natural nail plate.
Acid-free Primer: gentler and therefore less irritating, especially for sensitive skin and nails. It provides a good adhesion for the gel polish. To avoid allergic reaction or skin irritation, use the acid-free version.
Acidic Primer: For problematic nail plates that require even stronger adhesion or are challenging, it is recommended to use the acidic version because it creates a stronger chemical bond
D. Optional for nails with problems (grooved or uneven, peeling easily, flaking, thin or brittle, poor adhesion)
Bond Booster Base Gel UV-curing adhesive gel forms an additional layer to help strengthen the adhesion provided by the primer.
- Gently massage the gel into the nail surface. This does not require heavy pressure, but rather ensures that the gel is evenly distributed over the nail surface.
- The gel should reach the cuticula and the edges, but be careful not to get it on the skin or the cuticula.
- Do not apply too thick a layer as this may make it difficult to bond properly and increase the risk of flaking.
- Cure thoroughly under UV (3 min) or LED (20 sec) light
(This layer cannot be removed, only the subsequent layers.)
Strengthening:
E. We strengthen the nail plate with any member of the Flexi family. Also suitable for the C-curve
Colour:
F. Apply a thin layer of your chosen, well pigmented Mystic Nails gel polish colour, then cure in UV (2min) or LED (1 min) light
G. Repeat the previous step once more, unless the first layer is perfectly covered!
Covering:
H. Cover the surface with flexible top gels, which can be:
- Joker Shine (extremely durable) No wipe
- Thick-Top (thicker consistency) No wipe
- Matte&Go (extra long-lasting matt effect) No wipe
- Base/Gloss (both base and top coat) To be wiped!
