APPLICATION GUIDE
The viscosity of The GelBottle All In One BIAB™ is slightly thinner than our original BIAB™, allowing for a multi-use function. It can be used to build a natural overlay and as a base coat.
The clear All In One BIAB™ is the perfect base when applying a gorgeous gel colour on top of your DesignEx Pro™️mani. The clear All In One BIAB™ can also be used as a top coat where needed. When using as a top coat, cure for 99 seconds and wipe off the tacky layer with isopropyl alcohol for the perfect finish.
The nude range of All In One BIAB™ can be used alongside our DesignEx Pro™ system to create the best Frenchies. A top coat is required.

STEP 1: NAIL PREP
• Sanitise your own and your client's hands.
• Use a cuticle pusher to push back the cuticles before trimming away excess with nippers.
• File nails into shape using a 220/240 File.
• Gently buff nails using a 100/180 Buffer to remove any shine.
• Dehydrate and cleanse the nail plate using 100% pure acetone. No ‘prep-and-wipe’ or ‘scrub-fresh’ solutions.
STEP 2: FIRST LAYER
• Apply an even coat of your selected All In One BIAB™ shade to the natural nail.
• Cure for 99 seconds on low heat mode using Light The Way Lamp. The lamp has been specifically designed to cure The GelBottle products. We do not recommend the use of other lamps. If your client experiences a ‘heat spike’, remove the nails from the lamp. Lost seconds must be regained using low heat mode.

STEP 3: SECOND LAYER - REGULAR FULL APPLICATION
• Apply a medium bead of All In One BIAB™, spreading side to side and dragging away from the cuticle. Avoid thick build-up around the free edge and the cuticle area.
• Seal the free edge. (TOP TIP: use Liner 01 Brush around the cuticle and free edges).
• Build and cure one nail at a time, turn the hand over to help create an apex if necessary.
• Cure using Light the Way Lamp on low heat mode (99 seconds).
• Apply a thin layer of your chosen top coat and cure as necessary.
STEP 3: SECOND LAYER - FRENCH TIP
• Apply a medium bead of All In One BIAB™ to the DesignEx Pro™ tip of your choice, spreading side to side to cover the area that will be applied to the nail. Avoid thick build-up around the edges.
• Press the tip firmly to the nail.
• Build and cure one nail at a time, turn the hand over to help create an apex if necessary.
• Cure using Light the Way Lamp on low heat mode (99 seconds).
• Once cured buff the DesignEx Pro™ tip.

APPLICATION WITH DESIGNEX PRO™
• Create a French Tip design on the DesignEx Pro™ tip (no need to base coat) with your chosen colour and cure as required.
• Apply a thin layer of your chosen top coat and cure as necessary.
STEP 4: REFINE
• Wipe with Isopropyl Alcohol.
• Refine the nail using a 120/180 File (only if necessary).
• Buff into shape using a 100/180 Buffer, concentrating on reducing the product around the cuticle area and the free edge.
• Remove any dust with our Dusting Brush.
STEP 5: TOP COAT
• For a nude finish apply a layer of your chosen top coat. Cure for 60 seconds using Light the Way Lamp. No need to wipe or cleanse after curing.
• If using Clear All In One BIAB™ cure the thin topcoat layer on for 99 seconds on low heat mode using the Light the Way Lamp. Wipe off tacky layer using Isopropyl alcohol.
• If nails are to be finished with a gel colour, follow the ‘Gel Colour Application’ guide.
