Blooming Gel Application Guide

Please ensure that you are qualified in UV/LED GEL POLISH application to use this product.

ESSENTIALS

Sanitise your hands and your client’s hands.
Whenever possible please wear gloves. We recommend completing all nail treatments in gloves to avoid contact of uncured products with skin.
Do not use cuticle softening products or warm water.
Perform a dry manicure by gently pushing back the cuticle area and removing any non living tissue. Use an e-file for this step if you are trained to use one.
Using a 240 grit nail file, shape the free edge of the nail.
Using a buffer or a buffing block remove the shine from the entire nail plate.
Remove the dust using a nail brush and cleanse the nail with a lint free wipe and Isopropyl Alcohol solution or a specialised cleanser
Apply sparingly the Gellifique® Acid Free Nail Bonder / Primer to the natural nail and let it air dry. Avoid skin contact. Avoid using on clients with skin sensitivities.

Apply a thin layer of Gellifique®Microcrystal Base Coat and cure for 30 seconds LED or 120 seconds UV.
Apply 2 coats of Gellifique® Gel Polish Colour curing between coats.
Apply a coat of Gellifique® Blooming Gel and do not cure.
Apply a Gellifique® Gel Polish Colour of your choice to a desired area over the uncured Blooming Gel and allow time for the product to work. The gel will disperse on the nail, creating a "bloom" effect.
Once you are happy with the created design, cure the product for 60 seconds LED or 120 seconds UV.
Please note it’s important to use the full Gellifique® System for best results as the products have been calibrated to work well together.

Sanitise your hands and the client’s hands. Reduce the nail length.
Using a 150 grit manual file or an e-file (if trained) take down the bulk of the product from each nail.
Work around various areas to avoid heat build up to the natural nail and discomfort for the client.
Change to a 180 grit file as you get closer to the natural nail.
Once the product is thinned down soak a Gellifique® Lint Free Wipe in Acetone and place on the nail and wrap in tin foil.
Soak for 15 minutes and scrape off any softened product. Re - wrap if necessary and wait a further 5 - 10 minutes.
Any left over product can be gently buffed off the nails.
To start a new product application, please follow the relevant section in this application guide.
Apply cuticle oil if there is no follow up manicure service.

Always avoid skin contact with uncured products.
Please do not attempt to remove any gel residue that is still hard.
Please use the tools which you have been trained with for product removal.
Please take care with pressure and use precision during the removal process in order to avoid overfiling the natural nail.
For a manual file removal we recommend switching from 150 grit nail file to a 180 grit file half way and then down to a 240 grit.
Please always exercise your professional judgement and advise your customer on an appropriate nail enhancement treatment depending on the condition of their natural nails.
