GELLIFIQUE RECOMMENDATIONS

• Please ensure that you have the necessary training to work with this product
• We recommend using a UV/LED with a low heat mode (99sec) to cure this product as some customers may experience heat spikes
• 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

ATTENTION

• Keep away from direct sunlight and UV/LED lights to stop the gel polish from curing inside the bottle
• Avoid cold temperatures as it thickens the gel polish
• Please read & follow the application guide

GELLIFIQUE GEL POLISH APPLICATION ON NATURAL NAILS

STEP #1: NAIL PREP 

• Sanitise your own and your client's hands
• Do not use cuticle softening products or warm water 
• Gently push back the cuticles and "tidy up" the area using a soft buffer or a tool which you have been trained with
• File the nails into shape using a 100/180 grit nail file
• Gently buff the natural nail with a soft buffer to remove any shine
• Cleanse the nails with Isopropyl Alcohol or specialised cleanser
• Apply the Gellifique acid -free Primer

STEP #2: BASE COAT 

• Apply a thin and precise layer of Gellifique Microcrystal Base Coat or Microcrystal Rubber Base Coat
• Do not let it run into the cuticle area and seal the free edge
• Cure using a responsibly purchased UV/LED lamp of at least 48W for 30 seconds with LED or 60 seconds with UV

STEP #3: FIRST LAYER - GEL POLISH COLOUR

• Apply the first layer of a Gellifique Gel Polish Colour of your choice and seal the free edge
• Cure using a responsibly purchased UV/LED lamp of at least 48W for 30 seconds with LED / 60 seconds with UV lamp

STEP #4: SECOND LAYER - GEL POLISH COLOUR

• Apply the second layer of a Gellifique Gel Polish Colour of your choice and seal the free edge
• Cure using a responsibly purchased UV/LED lamp of at least 48W for 30 seconds with LED / 60 seconds with a UV lamp
• If you are a perfectionist and would like to cover any areas on the nail which you feel need a bit more coverage we recommend using a thin drawing nail brush and with gentle downward or upward strokes place or move the gel around as you see fit. This technique is often used to perfect the area around the cuticle or any areas which seem a little more translucent than the rest of the nail

STEP #5: ULTRA SEAL

• If you are using the Gellifique Ultra Seal Gel Coat apply it and cure 60 seconds with LED or 120 seconds with UV

STEP #6: TOP COAT 

• Apply a Gellifique Microcrystal Top Coat, Gellifique Rubber Top Coat or Gellifique Velvet Matte Top Coat
• Cure the top coat of your choice using a responsibly purchased UV/LED lamp of at least 48W for 60 seconds with LED /120seconds with UV lamp
• No need to wipe or cleanse after curing as all Gellifique top coats are tack free

GELLIFIQUE GEL POLISH COLOUR REMOVAL

STEP #1: PREP - GEL POLISH REMOVAL

• Sanitize your own and your client's hands

STEP #2: TOP COAT REMOVAL - GEL POLISH REMOVAL

• File off the Gellifique top coat, Gellifique Ultra Seal Gel and Gellifique Rubber Base with a tool that you have been trained with

STEP #3: SOAK OFF - GEL POLISH REMOVAL

• Soak a lint-free wipe in 100% acetone liquid and wrap each finger in foil or place into nail clips. Leave to soak for 10-15 minutes. The time for soak off will depend on the products used and amount of glitter and other nail art applied as well as the number of gel polish layers

STEP #4: REMOVAL - GEL POLISH REMOVAL

• Remove the foils one by one. Once the air penetrates the gel it begins to harden again
• Removing foils one at a time will also allow you to check if the soaking process needs additional time
• Do not attempt to remove the gel which is still hard
• Ensure to remove all the gel which has been soaked off
• Support the natural nail during the gel polish removal to avoid bending it

STEP #5: BUFF & SHAPE - GEL POLISH REMOVAL

• If there is any product residue after the soak off process use a soft grit buffer to gently buff it off concentrating on the cuticle area
• If you are performing another gel polish application please follow the step for gel polish application
