Certainly! Here's a simplified set of instructions for beginners to follow and practice:

Gel-X kit include:

• 15ml Non-Acidic Gel Primer
• 15ml Soak Off Extend Gel bottle
• X-Lite LED light 
• 100/180 grit emery board

UV/LED Lamp

• Begin by shaping the client's nails with a file to achieve the desired length and shape.
• Gently push back the cuticles using a cuticle pusher.
• Remove any excess or dead cuticle tissue with a cuticle trimmer.
• Buff the surface of the nails to smooth out any roughness or ridges. Ensure the nails are clean and dry before proceeding with the application.

• Evaluate each finger individually to select the appropriate size tip from the kit.
• Utilize the numbered tips in the kit to easily compare and find the correct fit for each nail.

Depending on the skill level of your nail technician consider:

• filing the inside of the nail tips to enhance adhesion.
• Or apply a thin layer of acetone to the inside of the tips to remove any residue and promote better adherence.

• Use a bonder liquid as a dehydrator to prepare the natural nails.
• Ensure the natural nails are completely dry and free from oils or debris to optimize bonding.

• Apply a primer liquid to the natural nails to create a sticky surface, facilitating better gel adhesion.

• Apply a thin, even layer of extending gel onto the prepared natural nails, extending it slightly beyond the nail tip for added strength and durability.

• Place the hand under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds to cure the extending gel, ensuring it sets properly.

• Apply a small amount of gel to the underside of the tip.
• Ensure the client's hand is positioned straight for optimal application.
• Press the gel tip onto the natural nail, gently securing it.
• Use a handheld LED light to cure the gel for 30 seconds, focusing directly on the nail.
• Have the client place her hand back under the UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds to cure the gel and ensure durability fully.
