Express Modeling Gel-Tips Square Baby Pink

- made of silicone plastic;

- square shaped;

- a unique, slightly fleshy, pink cover color;

- the factory color of the tips shortens the time of styling (after fixing the tips, just put on the top and the styling is ready);

- 100% opacity; free edge invisible after applying the tips;

- product ideal for creating Baby Boomer or French stylings;

- guarantee of proper nail stiffening and structure;

- flexibility providing nail stress absorption. As a result, the tips don’t break and perfectly keep their designed shape;

- providing a fully valuable nail extension treatment without the need to apply other polymer products from the top;

- construction and structure of the product prevents cracks, delamination and air pockets;

- tips keep for 3 to 5 weeks (durability of styling comparable to other methods of nail extension);

- option of making salon length nails (1.5 cm);

- the longitudinal curvature of the tip is slightly convex, with the apex practically in the middle of the length of the tip;

- 12 product sizes, allowing for proper fitting to the customer's hand;

- the mold has a 50% tunnel in the middle, thanks to which the tips are suitable for clients with flat tunnels of their own nails, but also with large and convex ones. This is a very important property, because with a large tunnel, the side sides of the tip are ideally located - exactly in the same groove as client’s own lower side. Thanks to this, a uniform whole is created, and during

nail regrowth, the place of fixing the mold is absolutely invisible, which is an extremely important aesthetic advantage. In addition, the nail is strong and durable - does not break in the stress zone when strained;

- differentiation of the hardness of the product in different parts of the tip; the zone that is attached to the natural nail is more flexible and softer, as compared to the free edge. The free edge, i.e. the tip of the nail, is definitely harder, as its role is to receive and withstand any tension or stress. The part of the tip attached to the nail must be flexible and relatively soft, as its role, along with the nail plate, is to prevent air pockets;

- susceptibility to filing using standard files and milling cutters;

- the gel product rolls during filing, detaches and immediately falls on the table, without causing the risk of dusting the plate and air pollution in the stylist's work area;

- the filing procedure does not clog cutters, especially carbide ones.

1. Preparation of tips

- adjust the sizes of tips to the customer's nails; carefully place them on nails, measuring whether our tips match the width and the lower side of the natural nail, without pressing too hard;

- after fitting, mark each tip with a number. Recommendation: do not duplicate molds. If we matched the nails on one hand of the customer, it does not mean that the nails on the other hand will fit the same size, as the nails are usually different on both hands. Therefore, we recommend matching the tips to both the left and right hand. Only after a perfect fit can the tips be taken off and arranged, preparing for their attachment;

- gently mat the zone that will be attached to the natural nail with a polishing block or a mini 240/240 polisher (a few small swipes);

- dust off with a brush.

The tips are ready to be attached to the nail.

2. Preparation of nails just like in the case of classic extensions

- remove the cuticles;

- remove the epithelium;

- clean the side grooves of the nails;

- depending on stylist’s design, shorten the natural nail or leave as is;

- matt the entire nail with a 240/240- or, if necessary, a 180-polishing block;

- dust the nail with the Penguin brush;

- degrease the nail with a dust-free swab soaked in Cleaner;

- apply a small amount of Ultrabond adhesive and wait 2 minutes until it evaporates;

- apply a thin layer of Base Gel or Rubber Base;

- cure in a UV lamp for 30 seconds;

- scoop a small amount of Rubber Gel - Glue with the spatula of the Master Brush 6, apply to the free edge of the nail and spread evenly, creating a strip across the nail;

- press the tips to the free edge, at an angle of 30°;

- press the Rubber Gel - Glue as much as possible, guiding it under the cuticles, so that no bubbles appear between the nails and the tips;

- after fixing the gel tips on the whole hand, adjust appearance and direction;

- remove excess glue with a spatula;

- cure in a UV lamp for 2 minutes;

- shorten the length of the molds with a guillotine or cut them with scissors and then smooth them with a disc cutter;

- give the nails the shape we want to achieve: oval, almond, slightly tapered square;

- file the area where the tips connect with the nails near the cuticles; use a milling cutter with a file base or a F3, F1, F2 or F6 carbide cutter;

- after removing the visible border between the tips and the natural nails, the whole can be matted with a 240 or 180 polishing block;

- dust the nail with the Penguin brush;

- degrease the plate with Cleaner;

- apply Base Gel, Rubber Base or cover base;

- fill the transition (depression) between the cuticles and the gel tip with a cover base.

We recommend one of our lines: Baby Base or Stone Cover Base. These collections are ideal for filling the small space between the cuticles and the beginning of the previously filed gel tips. A transparent base would cause a very unsightly regrowth effect, and we want to avoid that;

- cure in a UV lamp;

- wipe off the dispersion, apply the color and gloss - or immediately apply the top coat if you want a transparent, glass effect.
