STEP BY STEP

1. Prep the nail. Begin by prepping the nails with an e-file. Cleanse thoroughly with Cleanser, then apply Dehydrator to eliminate excess oils and moisture from the nail plate. Follow with Bonder to ensure maximum adhesion.

2. Apply Rubber Base. Apply a thin, gripping layer of SHIELD Rubber Base+ using a gel brush for better precision and control or brush from the product. Cure for 30 seconds in a UV/LED lamp
3. Apply Gel in Bottle. Work one nail at a time for best results. Start with a thin slip layer—do not cure this layer. It will help you control the builder layer. Next, apply the builder layer to create a smooth apex. Use a detail brush to reach the cuticle and sidewalls precisely. Flip the hand upside down for a few seconds to allow gravity to help create the perfect structure. Cure for 60 seconds in a UV/LED lamp.
4. Filing. If necessary, use a 180 grit file to refine the surface and perfect the shape and length.

5. Apply Top.
Apply SHIELD Nude Top Stone for a soft, milky finish. Ensure enough product on brush and apply using light, even pressure to avoid streaks. Use a detail brush to perfect hard-to-reach areas. Cure for 60 seconds in a UV/LED lamp.
