Ikonoischer Gummibasis - Pink Neutral (2)

As a first step, we dull the natural nail with a file with a coarseness of no less than 180. If we had a previous gel manicure, we remove the old material using pulp and an acetone-based remover, or we file the old model using a sander or a disposable file with a roughness of 100/180

Push the cuticle and gently lift it using a metal pusher or an orange stick . With the opposite end of the pusher, we remove the dead cuticle and other impurities from under the cuticle area in order to achieve a beautiful clean space for new modeling. We cut off the pressed and raised cuticle with Profi scissors or Profi cuticle nippers .

Clean the prepared nail with an anti-dust cloth soaked in cleaner/benzyl alcohol. Then apply Iconic Primer for better adhesion of the materials to the nail. Leave to dry briefly. Apply I conic Elastic Base and let it cure in a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds. Do not wipe the sticky layer - discharge! If you do not want to lengthen or strengthen the nail, continue with step 5 - Color and design.

Strengthening the natural nail: Use Iconic Rubber Base in a thicker layer as follows: First, apply a thin layer of gel (Rubber Base) to the entire nail and then place a sufficient amount of gel in the Apex area (approx. 1/3 of the nail). Flatten to a smooth surface using a detail brush with a long bristle so that you have the largest amount of material right at the point of the Apex and the material thins out towards the tip of the free edge.

Apply Iconic PolyAcrylic Gel to the appropriate size dual mold. Using a Kolinsky modeling brush dipped in cleaner, work out the polyacrylic gel into the desired shape and length. Place the mold with the material on the nail and let it harden in the lamp for 2 minutes. Once cured, gently remove the dual mold. If necessary, shape with a file into the desired shape and length (in that case, first remove the sticky layer - discharge!)

Apply the colored Iconic Color Gel in one medium layer and let it cure in the lamp for 120 seconds. For decoration, be inspired by our Nail Art section. As a final step, apply a medium coat of Iconic Top Coat or Iconic Top Matt .

Apply the nourishing and regenerating oil around the nail for a healthy-looking manicure.
