How to use for Xtensions application:
1. Prep the natural nail and full cover tips using your preferred Nail Order method: Xprep, Xetch or Efile - click here to see how we use these methods.
2. Add a bead of Xgel (or Xgel Sensitive) to the tip and apply to the natural nail at a 45 degree angle (no slip layer on natural nail required).
3. Flash cure keeping a firm hold, raise to under the UV light and hold for approx 10 seconds (or until there is no movement).
*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.
4. Ask client to hold the curing finger under the lamp for 30 seconds whilst you work on the other hand.
5. Once all Xtensions are complete place both hands in the lamp for an additional 60 seconds to ensure full cure (as sometimes clients may accidentally move their hand during the flash curing process).
