Application for Dura Gel
Dura Gel has a cure thickness of 1.8mm, this means that each layer should be no more than 1.8mm thick.
1. Prep the natural nails using your preferred method, manual or efile (we recommend using a sanding
band or manually using a 180/240 nail file to gently etch the nail surface) Never use a buffer for structure gel applications as it smoothes the nail.
Do not apply any cleaners, dehydrators or acetone to the natural nail after prep as this can over dehydrate the nail and lead to premature lifting of the gel.
2. Apply
Xprime or Primer for maximum adhesion.
3. If adding length apply your form or tip now.
4. Apply a thin layer of Dura Gel to the natural nail/tip/form and cure in our Lumi Lamp or Lumi Spark Lamp for 60 secs or on 90 sec low heat mode.
5. Repeat step 4 but do not cure
6. Apply a bead of the product, then begin building the apex
allowing the product to self-level.
7. Cure for 60 seconds or on 90 second low heat mode.
8. Remove the inhibition layer, refining where necessary using a
180 buffer or lightly using a 240 nail file and apply gel polish when happy
with the finish.
9. Apply gel polish straight on top if there is no refining, if
no refining is needed no top coat is required as the product has a built in top
coat.
