APPLICATION OF FORMS ON A NAIL BITER
This procedure is a little more challenging to perform. Whenever servicing a nail biter you should explain that only a regimented nail care program could bring about proper looking nails. They need to follow their nail technician’s recommendations. Coming into the nail salon bi-weekly for maintenance will be required until their own natural free edge has grown out to a desired length.
Preparation
1. Gently push back cuticles.
2. Lightly buff nails, removing shine.
3. Dust off well with dust brush.
4. Wipe nails with Prep & Clean, using a lint free pad, to remove oils, dust and to disinfect.
Connector
1. Make sure nails are completely dry of Prep & Clean.
2. Apply a thin layer of Connector over natural nails. Nails should NOT be shiny and should have a textured look. If product gets on the cuticle, remove it before curing in the light.
3. Cure in the light. Repeat on the other hand.
4. DO NOT REMOVE the dispersion film, it ensures proper adhesion to Modeling Resin.
Modeling Resin
1. First application, using a small amount of Modeling Resin on your sculpting brush. Roll it gently, onto the natural nail, pushing back towards the cuticle and rolling it forward to overlap onto the fingertip. Keep product thin around cuticle area. If product gets on the cuticle remove it before curing in the light.1
2. Cure in the light. Repeat on the other hand.
3, Gently pull skin away from the product. DO NOT REMOVE the dispersion film, as it ensures proper adhesion to the French Modeling Resin.
4. Place a form under the product. For extreme nail biters, apply a small piece of fibreglass to bridge between free edge and form, and then continue with the French Modeling Resin.
French Modeling
1. With a small amount of French Modeling on your brush, sculpt a nail extension. Roll the product onto the nail form beginning at the natural nails smile line. Roll the brush side to side down to the clients desired length. Remember not to make the extension longer than 2/3 of the nail plate.
2. Using a clean, dry brush, keep the brush flat to the natural nails smile line; create a crisp “French” smile line.
3. Cure in the light. Repeat on the other hand.
4. DO NOT REMOVE the dispersion film, it ensures proper adhesion to the Modeling Resin.
Modeling Resin
1. Apply twice: First application, use a pea size amount of Modeling Resin on your sculpting brush. Roll it gently, onto the stress point of the nail (approx. middle of the nail). Keeping your brush parallel with the nail, above the product, roll it side to side down towards the free edge. You should always have a “bead” of product between the nail and your brush. 2. Make sure to wrap product around free edge.
3. Cure in the light. Repeat on the other hand.
4. DO NOT REMOVE the dispersion film, it ensures proper adhesion to second coat of Modeling Resin.
5. Second application should be rolled on to the stress area pushing down to the cuticle and brushing product back to free edge. Always use a push and roll motion with the brush. Keep product thin around cuticle and free edge. If product gets on the cuticle remove it before curing in the light.2
6. Cure in light. Repeat on other hand.
7. Wipe off the dispersion film with Prep & Clean, using a lint free pad.
8. File nails to client’s desired shape.
9. Dust off well with dust brush.
Sealer
1. Wipe nails with Prep & Clean, using a lint free pad.
2. Dust off with dust brush, to remove any lint (optional).
3. Make sure nails are completely dry and clean.
4. Apply thick layer (polish consistency) of Sealer with light strokes.
5. If product gets on the cuticle remove it before curing in the light.
6. Cure in the light. Repeat on the other hand.
7. Wipe off dispersion film with Prep & Clean, using a lint free pad.
The nails now have a high gloss finish and the set of nails is now complete.
