Here's a detailed step-by-step guide for applying gel polish from Elite Embrace:
1. Prepare the Nail Plate:
- Perform a manicure to shape the nails and push back the cuticles.
- Clean the nail surface to remove any oils or debris.
- Apply a nail dehydrator to remove any remaining moisture.
- Apply a nail primer to ensure better adhesion of the gel polish.
2. Apply Rubber Base:
- Apply a Rubber Base, making sure to align it properly on the nail.
- Cure the base coat in a UV/LED lamp for up to 60 seconds.
3. Apply the First Layer of Gel Polish:
- Apply a thin, even layer of gel polish.
- Cure the layer in the lamp for at least 60 seconds.
4. Apply the Second Layer of Gel Polish:
- Apply a second thin, even layer of gel polish.
- Cure the layer in the lamp for at least 60 seconds.
5. Apply the Top Coat:
- Apply a top coat to seal in the color and add shine.
- Cure the top coat in the lamp for at least 60 seconds.
6. Finish:
- If your top coat has a sticky layer after curing, use a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol to remove the tacky residue.
- Apply cuticle oil to nourish and hydrate the cuticles.
By following these steps, you should achieve a long-lasting, professional-looking gel manicure.
