HOW TO APPLY
• Preparation: remove any old material and tidy the cuticles. Degrease the nails with a cleaner on a cellulose pad (including the side walls and cuticle area), lightly buff with a very fine file, then remove the dust with a fresh pad and cleaner. Do not touch the nail surface with your fingers.
• Base: apply one layer of Hard Base (or a gummy base for damaged nails or where flexibility is needed). Apply to four fingers, cure for 60 s in a UV/LED lamp, then the thumb (kept straight in the lamp) for 60 s. Do not touch the tacky layer.
• Colour: apply the first thin layer of gel polish colour onto the tacky layer and cure for 60 s; add a second layer if needed and cure for 60 s, or longer for thicker layers.
• Top: finish with No Wipe Top or No Wipe Top Matte and cure for 60 s. Repeat on the other hand and massage a drop of cuticle oil into the cuticles and side walls.

REMOVAL
File off the top layer, then wrap each nail in a remover foil with a pad soaked in remover (Hybrid Remover), pressing it firmly around the whole nail. Leave for at least 10–15 minutes; timing depends on layer thickness, the condition of the top layer and of the natural nail, and the use of a bonder or dehydrator. Push off the lifted material with an orange stick; if it does not come off easily, re-wrap for another 5 minutes. Lightly buff, wipe with remover and finish with cuticle oil. Removal with an e-file is faster but only for experienced technicians, as there is a risk of injury and of damaging the natural nail.

INGREDIENTS (INCI)
Acrylates Copolymer, Ethyl methacrylate, Ethyl acetate, Synthetic Fluorophogopite, Dimethicone, Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE
3 years; 12 months after opening (when stored and used as recommended). Keep tightly closed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Keep away from UV/LED lamps, including stray light outside the lamp, which can partially cure the material and reduce its performance.

SAFETY
• Not suitable for children. Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid skin contact: do not apply to the skin around the nail. If this happens, wash with soap and water before curing. Seek medical advice if skin irritation occurs. An allergic reaction to any ingredient may occur.

• Do not use if an allergic or other unusual reaction occurs.
