Nailster Handbook

Gently push back your cuticles on each nail with your cuticle pusher. Use the opposite side to remove any dead skin from the surface of the nail.

Carefully trim away any excess cuticle with the Cuticle Nipper.

Gently buff the nail plate to make the surface of the nail matte. This removes natural oils from the nail plate and ensures that the products adhere firmly to the nail.

Remove any traces of dirt, impurities, or oil residue from the nails using our Cleanser and a Lint-Free Pad. The nail plate should be clean to achieve the best results.

Finally, use our Dehydrator. Apply it to the entire nail plate, then allow your nails to air-dry for 60 seconds.

Prepare the nail as shown in the nail prep section.

Apply a thin, even layer of Gel Base Coat over the entire nail (avoid contact with the skin). It is important to seal the tip of the nail along the free edge to prevent air from getting underneath. Cure your Base Coat for 60 seconds under the UV/LED lamp.

Apply a thin layer of Gel Polish evenly across the entire nail. It is important to apply paper-thin layers (4 paper-thin layers are better than 2 thick ones). Seal the tip of the nail by applying Gel Polish to the edge of the nail.

Cure the Gel Polish for 60-90 seconds under the UV/LED lamp. Always cure each layer you apply for 60-90 seconds.

Finish with your Top Coat. Apply a thin layer over the nail, making sure to seal the tip. Your Top Coat helps create a durable, beautiful finish. Cure your Top Coat for 90 seconds under the UV/LED lamp.

Finish by applying cuticle oil to each cuticle and the skin around the nail. The oil helps nourish and moisturize the skin around your nails. Use your fingers to massage the oil thoroughly into the entire cuticle area.

Prepare the nail as shown in the nail prep section.

Find the right sizes of Dual Forms for your nails. It’s important that they are neither too small nor too large. They should cover the entire nail plate.

Then apply your Base Coat and cure under the UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds.

Press a suitable amount of Polygel into the form, and dip the brush end of your brush-and-spatula tool into Cleanser. Then shape the Polygel to fit the Dual Form.

Place your Dual Form close to the cuticle without letting it touch the skin. Secure a clip around your finger, then turn your hand over so your palm faces down. Smooth the underside to create a seamless transition from the underside of the nail to your extension.

Remove the clip and cure the product for 90-120 seconds. Then carefully remove your Dual Form and wipe with a little Cleanser on a lint-free pad.

File the nail into your desired shape, then wipe it with Cleanser. Your nail is now ready to be finished with Gel Polish or Top Coat.

Prepare the nail as shown in the nail prep section.

Apply your Base Coat and cure in the UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds.

Apply your Universal Form under the nail and make sure there are no gaps between the nail and the form. Check that the form sits snugly against the underside of the nail.

Now apply a thin layer of Builder Gel over the entire nail and onto the form where you want the extension. Cure in the UV/LED lamp for 90–120 seconds.

Remove the nail form. Apply another layer of Builder Gel and spread it evenly towards the free edge. Turn your hand upside down for 5 seconds to allow the product to self-level and create the Apex (the Apex is the highest point of the nail). Then cure under the UV/LED lamp for 90-120 seconds.

If you want to refine the shape with a file, first remove the sticky layer with Cleanser. Remember to cleanse with Cleanser again after filing the nail into shape.

Finish with a Gel Polish colour or Top Coat. Remember to cure the product between each coat under the UV/LED lamp for 60–90 seconds.

File off your Top Coat and Gel Polish using a nail file or an electric nail file.

Now soak your Remover Wraps with Gel Remover. Place them on the nail with the cotton side facing down against the nail plate, and fold the foil tightly around the nail. Then place a nail clip on the nail and leave it in place for approximately 10-15 minutes.

Remove the Soak-Off Clips and Remover Wraps from your nails. Use either your Manicure Rosewood Sticks or your Cuticle Pusher to gently push the Gel Polish, Polygel, or Builder Gel off the nail. If a little residue remains at the end, use your buffer to carefully remove the final traces.

Cleanse your nails with our Cleanser using a Lint-Free Pad, then finish with your cuticle oil.

File off your Top Coat and Gel Polish with a nail file or an electric nail file. Remove any excess dust from the nail after filing.

Roll your Magic Remover between your palms (please note that it has a thick consistency). Apply your Magic Remover in a thick layer — it is better to apply too much than too little. The thicker the layer, the better it dissolves the product.

Apply the product to the entire nail, but make sure it does not come into contact with the skin. Leave the Magic Remover to work for approximately 3-5 minutes. You will notice it starting to bubble up on the nail; this means the product is dissolving.

If everything has not lifted, repeat with a new layer of Magic Remover and leave the second layer to work for 2-3 minutes.

Use either your Manicure Rosewood Sticks or your Cuticle Pusher to gently ease the Gel Polish, Polygel, or Builder Gel off the nail. If you have a little residue left at the end, you can use your buffer to remove the last small remnants. Be careful not to damage the natural nail.

Cleanse your nails with our Cleanser using a Lint-Free Pad, then finish with your cuticle oil.

Choose the right bit depending on the product you need to remove. Please note that if you are only wearing Gel Polish, you should use either our Diamond Bit or a Sanding Band with a grit of 180 and work at a low speed. Stop filing once all the product has been removed from the natural nail.

Cleanse your nails using our Cleanser and a Lint-Free Pad, then finish with your cuticle oil unless you are applying a new set of nails.
