- Fast and easy to apply
- Strong
- Pack of 240
- Each pack contains 12 different sizes to find your perfect fit
How to Use:
- Select the best-fit size for your nail. The tip should fit side wall to side wall of your nail. You do not want it to be too big or too small as this will cause lifting or popping off. If in doubt... go bigger and file down the sides to fit.
- Etch the inside of each tip using an E-file or an Etching Stick. You only need to buff the part of the tip that will make contact with your natural nail (this step helps with adhesion as gels will last longer when they are stuck to a rough surface). Alternatively, you can use Primer directly on the underside of the tip.
- "Treat" the inside of the tip (the part you just roughed up) with PH Bond to remove any nail dust particles that remain on the tip (do not do this if you used Primer in step 2)
- Push your cuticles back and buff the shine off your natural nail.
- Apply PH Bond (nail dehydrator) and Primer to the natural nail. These products are highly recommended when applying tips.
- Apply a rubber base coat to the natural nail and cure for 60 seconds under your UV Lamp.
- Scrape the side of your rubber base brush along the base of the soft gel tip to fill the underside of the tip (the part that has been etched). You will figure out how much gel is required through trial and error. You don't want too much gel on the underside of the tip as then your nail will flood. However, if you do not have enough gel applied it will not be sufficient enough to fill the gap between the natural nail and the tip which could lead to air bubbles and popping off.
- Align the base of the tip just under your cuticle and gently roll the tip onto the nail until the gel spreads across the nail and reaches the free edge. You do not want the tip and the cuticle touching but you do want them as close as they can get without touching.
- While still holding the tip on the nail, flash cure the nail under our mini C-shaped UV/LED lamp for 20-30 seconds so that the gel is cured enough to adhere to the natural nail.
- Repeat steps 6-8 for all nails, then cure your whole hand under the UV lamp for 60 seconds to fully set the manicure.
- (E-File only) - Go in with a small drill bit to smooth out the edges of the tip (especially close to the cuticle) for a seamless look.
- Buff the shine off the tip.
- Apply rubber base on top of the tip. Cure for 60 seconds.
- Apply the colour of your choice. Cure each colour coat for 60 seconds.
- Apply No-Wipe Top coat. Cure for 60 seconds.
You are done... enjoy your BLOSS Gel Soak-off Soft Gel Extensions!
An optional step is to apply builder gel on top of the extension for extra added strength!
Remember prep is key for long-lasting gel enhancements of any type! It is highly recommended to invest in an E-File when using gel extension enhancements... you won't regret it!
