✦ How to Use
- 01 Prep the natural nail by trimming, filing, gently pushing back the cuticle area, and buffing the surface according to manufacturer guidance.
- 02 Size each Gel-X® tip from sidewall to sidewall, choosing the closest fit; if between sizes, size up and refine the edges as needed.
- 03 Etch or chemically prep the underside of the tip, then apply the recommended Après nail prep products and a thin layer of Extend Gel to the natural nail before curing.
- 04 Apply Extend Gel to the underside of the tip, place near the eponychium at an angle without touching skin, press to avoid air bubbles, cure as directed, then finish-file and apply color.
