BASIC ONE Clear Gel Application Instructions

1)              Preparation:

a.      Gently edge natural nail bed and apply tips to all ten nails.

b.     File and buff all the shine off of entire natural nails & tips.

c.      Wipe off the nails with BASIC ONE Wiping Solution (alcohol).  Wait one (one) minute, until nails are completely dry.

2)              First Gel Application:

a.      Start with one finger from either hand.  Polish a thin layer of BASIC ONE Clear Gel 1/8² of an inch away from cuticle to the tip/edge of the nail.

b.     Drip a small drop of BASIC ONE Clear Gel in the middle of the natural nail & tip to create a ³hump² and/or thickness.

c.      Cure nail for one minute under BASIC ONE UV Light.  Then repeat steps 2a. & 2b. on the same finger of the opposite hand.  Alternate fingers/hands, until all ten are done.

3)              Second Gel Application:

a.      Apply another thin coat of BASIC ONE Clear Gel to entire nail.  Drip and drag gel, by using the corner-side of the CHRISTRIO Gel Brush, to add more thickness and to shape nails as desired.  (Remember that gel is self-leveling)

b.     Cure nails for one minute (alternating fingers).

4)              Curing Time:

a.      Cure all ten nails for 3 minutes (3-5 minutes, depending on thickness).

b.     Using BASIC ONE Wiping Solution (alcohol), thoroughly wipe nails to completely remove all sticky residue. 

c.    Lightly file edges to shape, if necessary, then polish or leave as a shiny natural look.

Please Note:

*If entire gel nails are soft and peel off within hours/days, this means that the nails were under cured.

*If nails break/crack, are bendable, or chip/crack; this means that the gel application was too thin.

*If gel lifts around cuticle area, this means lack of prepping.  If necessary-for oilier nails, wipe with Wiping Solution twice prior to gel application.
