Gellifique Acrylic Gel is the perfect fusion between gel and acrylic, tailored to create a durable and extremely natural-looking nail enhancement.
FEATURES
The product is only set once cured, thus allowing the nail technician plenty of time to create the perfect shape
It is nearly odourless and has significantly less dust during removal and is therefore ideal for mobile nail techs or smaller salons
It is as tough as acrylic, however, removes easily by filling and then soaking in acetone
The product itself is a paste-like consistency and is smoothed into place using a “slip” solution of isopropyl alcohol
Unlike your conventional gel products, with this, you can apply and work on all 10 fingers without the product moving into the side walls or cuticle area making it quick and easy to apply.
There is no heat spike when curing which means complete comfort for the client
Please ensure that you have the necessary training to work with this product
We do not recommend using acetone to clean/prep the nails
Use a primer + base coat for better adhesion
Use a responsibly purchased (reliable supplier) UV/LED lamp of at least 48W so the gel cures faster

Squeeze the correct amount of your chosen Acrylic-gel, slice using the spatula and apply to the nail bed
Decant some isopropyl alcohol into your dapper dish and using your gel brush, dip into the alcohol solution to allow product to “slip” over the nail.
Pat, press and smooth product into position. Once happy with the overall shape and structure, cure for 120 sec. with LED

Please avoid thick build up around the free edge and the cuticle area as this will result in the product lifting later
Seal the free edge
Build and cure one nail at a time, turning the hand upside down to allow the gel to self-level and create an apex if necessary
