Our Gel Start Kit is designed to give you a great start when you want to create gel nails from start to finish. The kit is based on what you need for a complete treatment, where we have chosen the variants most popular with our customers – for example, the color of the gel, the size of the brushes, and the shape of the tips.
If you already have certain products, want to change the color of the gel, or the shape of the tips, we recommend that you use the list below as a starting point and then customize the kit to your own needs.

Step by step
• Start with clean and dry hands.
• Use the file side of the 2 in 1 file and buffer to shape the free edge of your nails.
• Use the buffer side to roughen the surface of your nails. The goal is to remove all shine. Be sure to reach the areas around the cuticles.
• Trim away excess cuticle.
• Glue the tips onto the free edge of the nail.
• Shape the tips to the desired length and shape. We have chosen Square Medium Flat tips because they are universal and can be shaped into basically any shape.
• Buff the surface of the tip to remove the shine.
• Spray Multimist directly onto the nail or onto a Lint Free Pad. Then use the pad to remove all dust from the nail. Be sure to reach the edges by the cuticles.
• First, apply a layer of Bonder and let it air dry for about 2 minutes.
• Then apply a layer of Primer and let it air dry for about 2 minutes.
• Pick up a small amount of Builder Gel with the Oval 8 brush and apply a slip layer. A slip layer is a thin layer of gel applied over the entire nail and tip. This layer helps you guide the gel applied afterwards. Do not cure.
• Then go in with a larger bead of gel and apply it to the middle of your natural nail. Start by gently moving the gel upwards first and then downwards onto the tip.
• Use the Liner 11 brush to smooth out the application. It helps you get close to the cuticles and out along the edges with better control.
• When you are satisfied with the application, cure the nail for 60 seconds in the lamp. We recommend that you build and cure one nail at a time so that the gel does not run.
• Once the nail has cured, there is still a sticky layer left. On this sticky layer, you can apply more gel if you want to build in several layers. If the sticky layer is wiped away, the gel must be filed before you can apply more gel on top.
• Spray Multimist onto a Lint Free Pad and wipe away the sticky layer.
• Use the file side of the 2 in 1 file and buffer to shape the free edge and smooth out any imperfections on the nail. Then use the buffer side to get an even and smooth surface.
• Apply a layer of Shine Crime Top Coat and cure in the lamp for 60 seconds.
• Done.
