Doing your nail prep properly is the key to making your gel polish last as long as possible. 

1. Trim and shape your natural nails to your desired shape. Use the buffer block to smooth out any rough edges. 

2. Gently push back the cuticles using a cuticle pusher, and trim off any dead excess skin using a cuticle clipper. Be careful not to cut your skin or flesh on the sides of the nail plate. Ensure both the cuticle pusher and clipper are clean before use.

Optional: soak your nails in warm water to soften the cuticles before pushing then back.

3. Using the buffer block, buff the surface of your natural nail. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe off excess dust. 

Optional: Apply a thin layer of Dehydrator followed by a thin layer of Primer for extra long-lasting wear. 

Apply 1 coat of the Rubber Base as a base coat, and cure for 60 seconds.

If you have thin, brittle or damaged nails, apply 2-3 coats of the Rubber Base for added strength to prevent chipping or breaking, curing in-between coats. You can use the Rubber Base on its own without gel polish, but don’t forget to seal it off with a Top Coat. 

Optional Advanced Application: Apply a coat of the Rubber Base, do not cure. Place another bead-size amount of Rubber Base about 1-2mm from the cuticle and then pull the product from side to side, working towards the free edge. Ensure the surface of the nail is covered evenly. Cure for 60 seconds.

Apply the gel polish 1mm away from the cuticle to prevent it from adhering to your cuticle and skin. 

Cure each coat of gel polish for 60 seconds.
