How to apply Après Gel-X Ombre nail tips:
- Begin by prepping the nail (Shape the natural nails to the desired length and prep cuticles. Buff the surface lightly to remove shine and cleanse with alcohol)
- Apply Après PH Bonder to dehydrate the nail plate and removes any oils or residue
- Then apply Après Acid Free Gel Primer. This creates a tacky layer for the Extend Gel to adhere to
- Apply a thin even layer of Après Extend Gel onto the natural nail. Cure for 30 seconds in a LED lamp
- Use Après Gel-X Prep to etch the underside of the Ombre Gel-X tip, Scrub with the brush until the Après logo disappears (Complete this step 1 nail at a time and apply)
- Apply a bead of Après Extend Gel to the base of the underside of the Ombre Gel-X tip. Apply the Après Gel-X tip at a 45° and gently press until the Extend Gel floats down to the natural nail free edge. Flash cure for 20 to 25 seconds with a Omni light
- Etch the top surface of the tip with Après Gel-X Prep
- Next Apply a thin layer of Vintage Carnation and lightly feather towards the free edge and cure for 30 seconds. This can also be done with one of the new Après Gel Couleur Light and Shadow Sheer gel polishes
- Apply a second layer of gel polish and feather lightly to the free edge again. Cure for 30 seconds.
- Apply Après Top Gelcoat and cure for 30 seconds and Viola you are finished!
