1. Prep natural nails.
2. Select tip sizes.
3. Prime the natural nails and Etch the tips using your preferred Nail Order method: Xprep, Xetch, Efile.
4. Apply an appropriate sized bead of Xgel to the base of the tip.
5. Apply the tip to the natural nail at a 45 degree angle (lined up to the cuticle) slowly pressing down until the gel meets the free edge.
6. Keeping a firm hold, raise to under the UV light and hold for approx 5 seconds (or until there is no movement).
7. Ask client to hold the curing finger under the lamp for 30 seconds whilst you work on the other hand.
IMPORTANT INFO... It is very important to ensure that you hold the finger no closer than 10cm to the light when curing. If you place the nail too close to the light (as with any UV gel product) it could cause a heat spike which can lead to damage to the nail bed and conditions such as onycholysis.
