What You'll Need: Kiara Sky Gelly Tips Application Essentials

Before you begin, gather all the necessary tools and products. This will make the application process smoother and more efficient. Here's a checklist:

• Kiara Sky Gelly Tips (in your desired shape and length)
• Kiara Sky Gelly Tips Prep
• Kiara Sky Gelly Tips Adhesive
• Kiara Sky Flash Cure Lamp
• UV/LED Nail Lamp
• Nail File and Buffer
• Cuticle Pusher
• Alcohol Wipes
• Optional: Nail Dehydrator and Primer

Step-by-Step Application Process

Now, let's get started! Follow these steps carefully for optimal results:

1. Prep Your Natural Nails: Begin by gently pushing back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher. Then, lightly buff the surface of your natural nails to remove shine. This creates a better surface for the Gelly Tips to adhere to. Cleanse with alcohol wipes.
2. Size Your Gelly Tips: Select the appropriate size Gelly Tip for each nail. The tip should fit snugly from sidewall to sidewall without overlapping onto the skin. If you're between sizes, it's better to choose a slightly larger size and gently file it down.
3. Apply Gelly Tips Prep: Apply a thin layer of Gelly Tips Prep to your natural nail.
4. Apply Gelly Tips Adhesive: Apply a thin layer of Gelly Tips Adhesive to the underside of the Gelly Tip, focusing on the area that will contact your natural nail.
5. Apply the Gelly Tip: Align the Gelly Tip with your cuticle and gently press it onto your natural nail, starting at a 45-degree angle and slowly flattening it down. Hold the tip in place firmly.
6. Flash Cure: While holding the tip in place, use the Kiara Sky Flash Cure Lamp to cure the tip for 5-10 seconds. This will secure the tip and prevent air bubbles.
7. Full Cure: Once all tips are applied and flash cured, cure your entire hand under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds.
8. Shape and Refine: Use a nail file to refine the shape and length of the Gelly Tips to your desired look.
9. Finishing Touches: Apply your favorite gel polish or top coat for a glossy finish. Cure under the UV/LED lamp according to the polish instructions.
