Applying a base coat

1. Cut out and position the Nail Form so that it follows the shape of the Eponychium and there is no gap between the nail and the form. Close the Nail Form to create the desired shape, ensuring that the lower wings stick together perfectly.
2. Apply a very thin and even layer of Base coat suitable for the application of a builder gel, as indicated in the product information. Apply the product on the nail using Trendy Base Brush, making sure to cover also the area between the natural nail and the paper in order to set it in place.
3. Cure the product for 30 seconds under a UV/LED lamp or 120 seconds under a UV lamp.

WHAT NOT TO DO

The tacky inhibition layer of the base coat should not be removed after curing.

Applying a builder gel

1. Take a small amount of product with Trendy Brush Gel N.4 or Trendy Oval Brush, or, if using a builder gel with high viscosity, Trendy Brush Gel N.6.
2. Apply a thin slip layer to the entire surface of the natural nail. Do not cure.
3. Take a larger amount of product.

4. Create the extension: place the bead of product at the tip of the natural nail and work the product out to the desired length using light, gentle movements.
5. Cure for 15 seconds under a UV/LED lamp, then pinch the nail and complete the curing process with 45 seconds under a UV/LED lamp.
6. Take a larger bead of product.

7. Build the apex: place the bead 1/3 of the way up the natural nail, push the product back towards the cuticle, then work the product out towards the length, without moving the apex of the nail.
8. If necessary, define the structure and cuticle area using the Trendy Brush Super Fine.
9. Cure under a UV or UV/LED lamp for the time indicated on the label or on the product information.

10. Vigorously remove the tacky inhibition layer using the Cleaner.
11. In the event of any imperfections in the application, file the nail structure using the Precision File 180/240.
If you prefer to use a nail drill for filing, we recommend a conical, medium-abrasion tungsten carbide bit such as the Carbide Refill Hard Bit.
12. Proceed applying a gel colour, gel polish or finish and cure. Remove the inhibition layer from the top coat if needed.
