Product explained

Our Cleanser is based on isopropyl alcohol and is an essential product when creating Gel Polish manicures.

Its primary function is to disinfect, cleanse, and prepare the nail plate before applying Gel Polish. By degreasing and dehydrating the surface of the nail plate, Cleanser ensures that the nail is optimally prepared for better adhesion. This step is crucial to prevent lifting and extend the durability of the final result.

Using Cleanser helps ensure a clean and hygienic process, which is essential to prevent pathogens such as bacteria and fungi from entering the skin or nail. Cleanser can be used on the nail, as well as to clean and disinfect your tools.

Cleanser should be used with lint-free pads, which are designed for single use to improve hygiene.

Lint-free pads are essential for prep, application, and removal of Gel Polish.

They are highly absorbent, making them easy to dampen with Cleanser or Gel Remover.

They are made from a material that does not leave lint or loose fibres behind, ensuring that the nail surface stays clean and ready for the next step in the process.

Please note, however, that if you rub repeatedly with the same lint-free pad, it may eventually start to shed fibres.

Lint-free pads can also be used dry to wipe excess product off the skin.

The cuticle pusher is a specially designed tool for caring for and preparing the cuticles and nails before applying Gel Polish or other nail treatments.

This tool is essential for achieving neat, clean-looking nails, as it gently pushes back the cuticles and removes dead skin cells from the nail plate. It is also an important step in your prep routine, helping to prevent lifting and contributing to a long-lasting result.

A cuticle nipper is designed to precisely remove excess skin and loose cuticles around the nails, leaving them with a clean, well-groomed finish. This tool is made from high-quality stainless steel, making it both durable and easy to sterilize for optimal hygiene. With sharp, precision-crafted blades, the cuticle nipper allows for accurate trimming without pulling or tearing the skin, helping to prevent irritation and support healthy-looking nails.

Nail files are used to shape the nails and achieve the desired length and shape. They come in different grits – coarse files are ideal for quickly shortening and shaping the nails, while finer files are used to refine the edges and surface for a smooth finish. To avoid damaging the nail plate, it is important to choose the right type of file based on the strength of the nail and the desired result.

The buffer is used with light strokes across the nail to gently roughen the surface and create texture on the nail plate. This helps your Gel Base Coat adhere better to the nail and extends the durability of your manicure.

Our PH bond is designed to optimize the nail surface before applying primer and/or base coat. It helps disinfect the nail while also removing excess oil and moisture from the surface of the nail plate.

Dehydrating the surface of your natural nail is only temporary, and your body will naturally rehydrate the nail plate again within 30-60 minutes.

By ensuring thorough disinfection, removal of excess oil, and temporary dehydration of the nail plate surface, PH bond can help create better adhesion to the nail and thereby help prevent lifting.

Our PH bond is recommended for anyone whose nails naturally produce more oil or are oilier.

It is not recommended if you have very dry nails, as PH bond may dry out your nails even further. If you have dry nails and want better adhesion to the nail, we recommend using a primer without PH bond.

To ensure the optimal effect of PH bond, it is important to first cleanse the nail thoroughly with Cleanser. Cleanser helps remove most of the surface oil from the nail plate. This step is essential to help prevent oil from transferring to the brush during application of PH bond. If oil is transferred to the brush, it can gradually build up inside the bottle, which over time may reduce the effectiveness of the PH bond solution.

Our primer helps your base coat adhere better to the nail plate. For most people, simply cleansing and dehydrating the nail with cleanser is enough, but if you have oily nails or experience issues with your Gel Polish lifting, a primer can be a really good solution.

Primer is used as the first layer on the nail plate before applying base coat. It first removes oil from the nail to improve adhesion, then leaves a sticky layer on the nail plate that bonds with the base coat.

Our primer is based on Ethyl Acetate and therefore does not need to be cured under the lamp. It simply needs to evaporate for 30-60 seconds.

As a new nail enthusiast, we do not recommend starting out with a Primer, as it can help mask underlying issues in your prep and application. We recommend that you first feel completely confident in your technique, as a primer is not a replacement for thorough, proper prep followed by precise application. You should see your first few lifts as direct feedback and valuable learning.

Please pay particular attention to the fact that, in general, when talking about bonders, primers, PH bonders and dehydrators from other brands, the products being referred to can vary greatly, as these terms are often used interchangeably. For example, what one brand calls a primer may be what another brand calls a dehydrator or PH bond. We recommend checking the ingredient list, paying attention to which ingredients the product contains, and familiarising yourself with the product’s specific function and effect.

Base coat is applied as the first layer of Gel Polish on your natural nail. It is designed to adhere to the nail plate and leave a sticky layer that the color coat and top coat can bond to.

It forms the foundation of a good Gel Polish application by creating a smooth, even base for the remaining layers.

The base coat also helps protect the natural nail from direct contact with the color coat, which can help prevent nail discoloration.

The base coat cures in our UV/LED lamp in 60 seconds.

The color coat is the layer where you can let your imagination run free. It comes in hundreds of different varieties, shades, and types. You can keep it completely simple with a single color, or combine colors to create the designs and Looks you want.

The color coat’s only job is to add your chosen colors and Looks to your nails.

The color coat cures in our UV/LED lamp in 60-90 seconds and, just like the base coat, leaves a sticky layer for the top coat to adhere to.

You typically apply 1-3 layers of color coat, depending on the effect you want and the color you use. It is important to apply the product in very thin layers so it cures evenly and does not pull back or shrink.

Top Coat is the final layer in any Gel Polish manicure. It acts as a protective layer, formulated to withstand everyday wear and help your Gel Polish last longer.

The Top Coat cures in our UV/LED lamp in 60-90 seconds and, unlike the other layers, does not leave a sticky layer.

Our top coats are available in three different finishes: Normal, Matte and Shine.

The lamp is designed to cure all of our Gel Polish, including base coat, color coats, and top coats.

The lamp emits UV light at wavelengths between 365 nm and 405 nm. These are the wavelengths our gel products are designed to cure at.

The lamp has four buttons. The first three buttons from the left turn the lamp on at 100% power and count down for 10, 30, and 60 seconds, respectively.

The final button is low heat mode. When you use it, the lamp will turn on at 50% power for the first 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the power increases to 80% and then gradually rises to 100% once 99 seconds have passed.

The purpose of low heat mode is to reduce the heat generated during the curing process. By using 50% power for the first 30 seconds, when heat generation is at its highest, the heat is distributed more evenly over the 99 seconds and therefore feels gentler on the nail bed.

As an alternative to pressing the buttons, you can simply place your hand inside the lamp. The lamp will then turn on at 100% power and count up instead of counting down. You can remove your hand once you have reached the desired number of seconds.

Cuticle Oil is simply an oil formulated to nourish and hydrate your cuticles and the skin around your nails.

It is easy to apply and should be part of your daily nail care routine. Apply a few drops of oil to each cuticle and gently massage it into the skin and nails. For best results, use the oil at least once a day, preferably before bedtime, to allow it to absorb deeply and work overnight.

With regular use, Cuticle Oil helps maintain healthy, well-cared-for nails and cuticles. It supports a healthy skin barrier and enhances the final look.

Cuticle Oil is especially important after applying a fresh set of nails, as the skin around the nails will be extra dry and in need of care after the cuticles have been trimmed and alcohol-based products such as Cleanser have been used.

Gel Remover is used to remove Gel Polish with the soak-off method. Our Gel Remover contains 100% acetone. Acetone is effective at dissolving the hard polymers that make up Gel Polish, without damaging the natural nail. Its ability to break down and dissolve the structure of Gel Polish makes it possible to remove the polish completely, ensuring a clean and gentle result.

Unfortunately, there is a great deal of misinformation about acetone, and many people mistakenly perceive it as being highly dangerous because of its odour and flammable properties. In reality, acetone is a very safe substance, and countless studies worldwide have confirmed its safety. Acetone is a naturally occurring substance found in the body, which the body itself produces when it metabolises fat.
