COLORES U.V. GEL INSTRUCTIONS

**MIX COLOR GEL WELL BEFORE USE

        FOR DEEPER, RICHER COLOR.**

1) Turn on lamp-press switch

and hold until light goes on.  For

best results, use a 6 watt light.

2)  Prepare Nails-Use polish

remover to remove all foreign

substances from nails.  Carefully

scrutinize and inspect your

client’s nails.  File and shape to

a natural shape.

3)  Buff Nails-Using a fine grit

board, remove the shine from

the natural nail.  This will

guarantee adhesion to the

natural nail.  Buff the entire

nail, including all corners and

the cuticle area.

4)  Remove filing from nail.

5)  Prime the Nail - Using primer

pen, etch the surface of the nail

by applying a primer over the

entire nail surface.  Do not

touch the rim or cuticle area.

Let nail dry.  Too much primer

or primer that is too dry will

cause the gel to lift.

Steps 6,7 & 8 are optional - gel can be

applied to natural nail as well or create

a free form nail with nail forms.

6) Fit Your Nail Tip-The

natural nail should fit against

the nail tip and gently file the

tip of the overlays to ensure

proper blending of the nail tip

against the natural nails.

7)  Apply Tip - Put a drop of glue

on the tip.  Press tip firmly to

nails and hold.  Apply one more

drop of the glue to the seam of the

tip for extra strength.

8)  Cut, Shape & Prime Tip- Cut

and shape as desired.  Apply

primer to nail tip only.

9)  Apply a thin coat of clear gel over

the entire nail.  Pay close

attention to the free edge and

sides.  DO not get gel on cuticle.

It will lift.  If this occurs,

remove immediately with gel

cleanser.  Before curing, clean

cuticle with cuticle pusher of

polish corrector pen.

10)  Cure for two minutes under

the light.

11)  Apply one coat of color  gel-

brush over the rim of free edge.

Cure for 2 to 3 minutes under light.

(Depending on your lamp)

If darker color is desired, apply

additional coats and cure under lamp

for 2 to 3 minutes (Depending on lamp).

12)This step is optional. 

If needed, fix any imperfections

before the last coat of clear. 

Apply one final coat of clear as an

overlay for a smoother,shinier finish.

13)  Take cotton pad and

dampen with gel cleanser-This

will remove the sticky residue.

Pat the nail.  Do not rub.  No need

to buff.
