Treatment Procedure

Step #1: Top Coat & Colour Removal

  1. Sanitise your hands.
  2. Request the client to sanitise their hands.
  3. Ensure the tools are sterlised.
  4. Using the Nail File or a 100/180 grit file, remove gel polish colour.
    (Note: If there’s an air bubble or the BIAB is lifting from the nail, file it down or soak it off with acetone and remove it completely).
  5. Follow the same procedure for all the nails.
  6. Remove any dust using dusting brush and wipe with cleaner.

Step #2: Nail Prep

  1. Push back cuticles using cuticle pusher.
  2. Use E-File for the next step, check the E-File Application guide.
  3. Trim excess cuticles using nippers.
  4. Make sure that any lifting BIAB has been removed using a E-file or a 100/180 grit nail file.
  5. With the 100/180 grit nail file, gently smooth over the surface of the remaining BIAB and reduce the length of the nail if necessary.
  6. Dehydrate and cleanse the regrowth area of the natural nail with pure acetone.
    (Note: No need to use any cleaner.)

Step #3: First Layer

  1. Apply a thin layer of BIAB on the nails and no need to cure.
    (Note: (i) The rubber base is only need for clear and white colour BIAB.
    (ii) If the BIAB is lifting up remove the BIAB colour and redo the nail.)

Step #4: Second Layer

  1. Apply a medium bead of BIAB, drag it away from the cuticle area and spread it from side to side.
  2. Avoid thick build up around the free edge of the cuticle area.
  3. Use a liner brush to perfect the cuticle and side walls.
  4. After building and curing one nail, turn the hand over to create the apex.
  5. Seal the free edge.
  6. Build and cure one nail at the time.
  7. Cure the nail using the LED lamp for 90 seconds.
    (Note: If the client experience any ‘heat-spike’, politely ask them to take their hands off from the lamp for a second and then put them back)

Step #5: Refine

  1. Dip the lint free wipes in the cleaner and wipe the nails.
  2. Remove the tacky layer with acetone or cleaner.
  3. Refine the nail using the 100/180 grit file.
    (Note: Concentrate on reducing the product around the cuticle area and the free edge to create a smooth surface.)
  4. Gently buff the nails using the Nail Buffer.

Step #6: Top Coat

  1. Apply the Extreme Shine Top Coat or Matte Top Coat based on the client’s preference, and seal the free edge.
  2. Cure it using the LED lamp for 90 seconds.
    (Note: No need to wipe or cleanse after curing since, all top coats are non-wipe).
  3. Apply a small amount of cuticle essence/oil to the cuticle area to moisturise them.
