If a gel is cured an alarm for that it’s not intended to be cured and it’ll become hard crack lift or separate from the nail. It may not have a high shine. Similar to a Monomer and Polymer system applied with incorrect Mix ratio. LED lamps don’t care most traditional UV gels use only labs that manufacture endorses using the wrong LED cut drastically affect the curing process

Q

Step 7 is to wipe off any excess applicator of primer or bonding gel from the brush and use a slightly damp brush. ensuring the nail plate is completely covered per manufacturers recommendation avoid using too much to prevent runoff to the skin. Step 9 is to gently brush UV or LED gel to the fingernail surface including the free edge leave at___gap around the cuticle and sidewall area of the finger nail. Avoid introducing air into the jail as this will reduce the strength of the cure gel and lead to bubbles and cracking applied to the clients right hand from pinky to pointer.

A

3/16 inches, or 4.76 mm

20
Q
