The salon ritual

Five steps to a set that lasts

Follow the ritual from prep to finish — every step links to a tracked guide.

  1. Prep the plate

    Cleanse, dehydrate and prime so every layer grips from cuticle to free edge.

    Tip prep primer

  2. Bond the base

    A rubber base or acrygel layer adds strength and evens out the natural nail.

  3. Shape the length

    Size and set tips edge to edge before building the apex.

    Gel-X tips guide

  4. Cure with care

    Cure each layer fully under a lamp that reaches every finger evenly.

  5. Finish with art

    Add charms, chrome or glitter, then seal with a glossy top coat.
