REINFORCEMENT:
-
Remove old coating.
-
Do not file the nail shape or leave 2 mm of length that will be removed after the build-up.
-
Roughen the surface with a 220-grit file without pressure or use a 100-grit buffer.
-
Perform a manicure.
-
If using removers, wash hands with soap.
-
Degrease the nail with LUNAmoon Nail Prep. Perform two passes using 4 cellulose wipes (1 wipe per 5 fingers). Clean the surface first, then clean the nail edges and cuticle with a wooden stick and wipe.
-
Use primer as desired – not necessary if the base is sufficiently acidic.
-
Apply LUNAmoon Rubber Base with a flat gel brush, coat all edges, cure for 60 seconds.
-
Remove the dispersion layer.
-
Build up with gel, leaving a 0.5–1 mm distance from the cuticle. Cure for 60 seconds.
-
File the shape after the build-up to reinforce the nail tip.
-
Thin nails: File out 1 mm of the natural nail from underneath to prevent lifting.
-
Remove the dispersion layer and cover with color polish.
-
Apply Top Coat, cure for 120 seconds. Do not wipe afterward to maintain the shine.
