dab the nail surface to remove excess Bonding Gel, leaving the nail surface with a dull grainy finish. Apply Bonding Gel to all five fingers. NOTE: Too much Bonding Gel will cause nails to lift or peel. If surface appears “wet or shiny” too much has been applied. 11. Cure Bonding – Place the hand into NP UV Lamp and cure for 1 minute (cure for 3 minutes for clients prone to lifting). Apply NP Bonding Gel

to the other hand while the first hand is curing. NOTE: DO NOT CLEANSE AFTER CURING BONDING GEL. 12. Apply NP Sculpting Gel Crystal – Using a NP Gel Brush, apply a thin layer of NP Sculpting Gel Crystal to the entire nail surface. Do not

cure. “Scoop” a small ball of gel onto your gel brush. Place this ball in the arch area of the nail by rolling your brush toward the free edge. Drag the gel using a pulling motion to create structure and strength from cuticle to free edge making sure you cap the entire free edge and sidewalls with gel. Do not cure. Gel on the surrounding skin or cuticles will cause lifting. Wipe off any gel on surrounding skin with NP Cuticle

creating a string of product extending from the brush. Place the string of product on low spots or any area of the nail needing reinforcement.
