Smoothing with a base

You will need a thick to medium consistency base for smoothing. We recommend to align and dry one nail at a time.

How to use a nail base for levelling?

1. First prepare the nail plate: prepare it with a manicure, wipe the surface with a degreaser.
2. Apply a thin layer of the base, seal the ends, dry it in a lamp.
3. For smoothing, place a drop of the base in the centre of the nail and distribute from the cuticle to a free edge of the nail.
4. Dry for 30 seconds in a UV/LED lamp.
Now the nails are flat, you can safely apply the gel polish.

IMPORTANT: Liquid bases are not suitable for levelling as they can spread.


Alignment with biogel

A nail plate levelling can also be done using biogel. Both transparent and camouflage shades are suitable for this purpose. Such material will have a number of advantages: naturalness and ecological compatibility, absence of chemical impurities, not only cosmetic but also therapeutic effect; nail plate growth stimulation, strengthening nails by activating keratin production, manicure durability, as well as its gentle levelling and easy removal.

How to line my nails with Biogel?

1. Prepare the nail plate: do a manicure, wipe it with a degreaser.
2. Finish nail with a base, dry it under a UV lamp.
3. Apply the biogel with a brush, first in a thin layer, then a drop in the middle. Finish with a buff, then buff in a drop in the centre. The nail bed should be thinner than the centre of the nail, this helps to create the correct convexity.
Now dry the biogel in a UV/LED light for 30 seconds.
After all the steps, we can proceed with the gel lacquer.

With an acrylic powder coating, your coating will be more permanent. This is its main advantage over base and biogel. But you should bear in mind that you will need additional products to remove the acrylic.

1. We prepare the nail plate, cover the base and dry it in a UV/LED lamp for 30 seconds.
2. Apply the second layer of the base, then powder it with acrylic powder, focusing on the centre of the nail and the free edge. Then dry it under a UV/LED light.
