BIG CITY LIFE

The correct way to get the perfect manicure

 

We start by preparing the station, where only sterilised tools should be present. Remember to wear gloves and disinfect your hands!

STEP 1

Remove cuticles - this is best done with a milling machine and the picks that suit you best (you can find videos of different picks here). If you don't have a cutter, remove cuticles (dry) with a cutter pick and, if necessary, cut the cuticles with a pair of tweezers.


STEP 2

Matt the nails with a high-grade file (180 or 240) or polishing block, paying particular attention to the area around the nail shafts.


STEP 3

Clean the nail plate of dust using a brush. Apply Nail Prep, taking care not to touch the nail plate so as not to contaminate it again.


STEP 4

In this step, we apply Acid Primer or No Acid Primer or Ultra Bond Extra Strong (recommended to increase polish adhesion).


STEP 5

After the Primer has evaporated (approx. 15s.), apply Smart Base Crystal Clear, curing in the lamp (UV - 2 min. or LED - up to 30s.)


STEP 6

Then apply the first layer of gel polish, cure in the lamp (UV - 2 min. or LED -30 to 60 sec.).


STEP 7

For a better effect and depth of colour, apply a second coat of gel polish, cure in the lamp (UV - 2 mins or LED -30 to 60 secs).

STEP 8

Apply Top Coat or Ultra Top Matt, depending on the effect you want to achieve. Speed up your work by applying Top Thicky No Sticky without a dispersion layer.
If you want to give your nails an original finish use our GALAXY Top No Wipe, which will transform any nail design.


STEP 9

Wipe off the dispersion layer with a dust-free sponge soaked in Cleaner.


STEP 10

Apply oil to nourish cuticles and shine the finish with a cotton swab.
