JUSTNAILS Premium Express Manicure Soak-off Shellac Starter Set - for fast and beautiful nails

With this high-quality set, you get all the gels and accessories you need for your express Shellac nail extension in one click. Perfect for a quick manicure at home. Without filing the shape and without much experience, you can easily create beautiful nails that will last up to 3.5 weeks.

• The included EXCELLENT BASE is a remedy for very soft and damaged nails. A revolutionary base based on a unique formula combining the properties of hybrid polish, softgel, and builder gel.
• Perfect consistency that allows gentle lengthening (up to 0.5 cm) and building up of the nail plate.
• The exceptionally sticky dispersion layer makes the applied colour adhere perfectly, ensuring the manicure lasts at least 2-3 weeks.
• Thanks to Cool Cure hardening technology, the base causes no discomfort or burning when curing in the lamp.

Please note that the included gels have been carefully selected for the majority of natural nails, i.e., not too soft and not too hard. If you have very thin and soft nails, it may be necessary to use a more flexible base such as JUSTNAILS Base Rubber Builder - FLEXI BUILD UP - Hybrid Shellac Gel. Or if you have very thick and hard nails: JUSTNAILS Excellent FIBER BASE Builder - CLEAR - Hybrid Shellac Gel.

SET APPLICATION:

1. Prepare your nails and perform a manicure:

2. Wash your hands and disinfect them preferably.

3. File your nails into shape with the finer side of the half-moon file.

4. Gently push back your cuticles with a rosewood stick and also press them slightly upward to make removal with tweezers or cuticle scissors easier.
If necessary, cut away dry and white cuticles, being extremely careful not to injure yourself. Start slowly and work bit by bit.

5. Now use the white buffer to mattify the nail plate and carefully go into the edges and corners to remove invisible cuticles. Depending on genetics, there may be a lot or very little invisible cuticle on the nail plate. However, this must be completely removed. You can also use your half-moon file to better access the edges and corners. Usually, for too much invisible skin growing with the nail plate, this only works perfectly with a drill and perfectly suitable manicure bits.

6. Now remove the filing dust from your nails and apply Ultra Prep over the entire nail plate. Let it dry for a few seconds and proceed with Ultra Double Bond. Apply this also over the entire nail plate and let it dry in the air for about 20 seconds. This leaves a sticky layer, do not touch!

7. Now apply a very thin layer of Excellent Base onto the carefully prepared nail plate (do not cure yet, the layer serves as a "contact layer" for the next thicker layer). Then use more to slightly strengthen the nail. Make sure to build up the C-curve and stress point slightly. Brush the gel thinner towards the nail tip so that the tips do not later look too thick, but do not forget to wrap the nail tip. The gel must NOT touch the cuticles as otherwise durability cannot be guaranteed.

8. After curing in the lamp (about 60 seconds), you can now immediately apply the colour and cure (60 seconds). If coverage is not sufficient, apply another layer after curing and cure again. Also brush the colour gel thinly towards the tip so that the nails do not look too thick later.

9. You can now seal the nails with the Master Top and cure again for 120 seconds.
Wait until the nails have cooled and then coat your cuticles with nail oil.

10. To remove nails after use, you need to roughen the top layer well with a file so that the remover liquid can penetrate well. Then wrap your fingers with aluminium foil containing a cellulose pad (wipe) or kitchen paper soaked with remover liquid. Let this act airtight for about 10-15 minutes and then scrape off the softened gel with the rosewood stick.

TIPS: If you have lifting and adhesion problems:

1. Extremely oily nails: add an extra product between Ultra Prep and Ultra Double Bond: WARNING THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ACID AND MAY CAUSE BURNING ON THE SKIN! > JUSTNAILS Primer Ultra Bond + Acid 12ml <

2. If the manicure lifts, pay even more attention to your natural nail preparation. It must be perfect and there must be no invisible cuticles left on the nail plate! Purchasing a drill machine with manicure cuticle bits is recommended!

Since the removal process takes some time, requires a new manicure later, and the entire nail has to be prepared over and over again, thus necessarily removing a thin layer of the natural nail (which damages the natural nail over time if especially too much is removed), professional nail designers in studios use a different method: they file off the top sealing layer and the colour gel again (preferably with a drill and a coarse removal bit), and then prepare only the newly grown back rear part of the nail plate as described at the beginning of the instructions. After curing the "docked" build-up, the sweat layer is removed with a cleaner and cellulose pad (not included) and the transition filed into shape. Then the colour is applied as usual.

With the small 3W lamp, you obviously need significantly longer to finish your nails as you have to cure each finger individually. If you want to speed up the process, we recommend the large 48 Watt lamp.
