Application Instructions

Achieving a long-lasting gel manicure requires careful preparation and adherence to the following steps.

Required Materials:

• Bluesky Shine Wipes
• Bluesky Base Coat
• Bluesky Colour Coat (JQ07 Orange Gold Shimmer)
• Bluesky Top Coat
• UV or LED Curing Lamp

Step-by-Step Application:

1. Preparation: Gently push back cuticles and file nails to the desired shape. Lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine and create a better adhesion surface.
2. Cleanse: Cleanse the nail surface thoroughly with a Bluesky Shine Wipe to remove any oils, dust, or debris. Ensure nails are completely dry.
3. Base Coat: Apply a very thin, even layer of Bluesky Base Coat. Cap the free edge of the nail. Cure under a UV lamp for 2 minutes or an LED lamp for 30-60 seconds. Do not wipe the sticky layer.
4. Colour Coat: Apply a very thin, even layer of Bluesky JQ07 Orange Gold Shimmer Colour Coat. Cap the free edge. Cure under a UV lamp for 2 minutes or an LED lamp for 30-60 seconds. For enhanced depth and opacity, apply a second thin coat and cure again. Do not wipe the sticky layer between coats.
5. Top Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of Bluesky Top Coat. Cap the free edge. Cure under a UV lamp for 2 minutes or an LED lamp for 30-60 seconds.
6. Finish: Remove any sticky residue from the cured top coat using a clean Bluesky Shine Wipe. This will reveal the high-gloss finish.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your gel manicure, follow these care guidelines:

• Avoid using your nails as tools (e.g., opening cans, scraping surfaces) to prevent chipping or lifting.
• Wear gloves when performing household chores, gardening, or working with harsh chemicals to protect your manicure.
• Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly with cuticle oil or hand cream to keep them hydrated and healthy.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water immediately after application, as this can affect the gel's adhesion.

Removal Instructions

Proper removal is crucial to maintain the health of your natural nails. Do not peel or force the gel off.

Required Materials:

• Foil Remover Wraps (sold separately) or cotton pads and aluminum foil
• 100% Pure Acetone
• Cuticle Pusher (wood or metal)

Step-by-Step Removal:

1. Prepare Nails: Gently buff the top layer of the gel polish with a fine-grit nail file. This helps the acetone penetrate more effectively.
2. Prepare Wraps: Saturate the cotton pad of a Foil Remover Wrap (or a regular cotton pad) generously with 100% Pure Acetone.
3. Apply Wraps: Place the saturated cotton pad directly onto the nail surface, ensuring full coverage. Secure the foil wrap tightly around the finger or toe to prevent air exposure and evaporation.
4. Soak: Allow nails to soak for 10-15 minutes. For stubborn gel or multiple layers, extend soaking time as needed.
5. Remove: Carefully remove the foil wraps. The gel should appear lifted and flaky. Gently scrape off any remaining softened gel using a cuticle pusher. If gel remains stubborn, re-wrap and soak for a few more minutes. Do not force or aggressively scrape the gel, as this can damage the natural nail.
6. Aftercare: After all gel is removed, gently buff the nail surface if necessary and apply cuticle oil to rehydrate the nails and cuticles.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Gel peeling or chipping prematurely:
  • Ensure nails are properly prepped and cleansed before application. Any oils or debris can prevent adhesion.
  • Apply very thin, even coats of polish. Thick coats may not cure properly.
  • Ensure each coat is fully cured under the lamp for the recommended time.
  • Remember to 'cap' the free edge of the nail with each coat to seal it.
• Gel not curing properly (still sticky after wiping):
  • Verify that your UV/LED lamp is functioning correctly and that bulbs are not expired (UV bulbs typically need replacement every 6-12 months).
  • Ensure sufficient curing time for each layer as per instructions.
  • Apply thinner coats to allow light to penetrate and cure thoroughly.
  • Note that a sticky inhibition layer is normal after curing; it should only be removed after the final top coat.
• Difficulty removing gel:
  • Ensure the cotton pad is fully saturated with 100% pure acetone and the foil wrap is sealed tightly to prevent evaporation.
  • Allow adequate soaking time (10-15 minutes or longer for stubborn gel).
  • Gently buffing the top coat before soaking helps acetone penetrate.
  • Gently push the softened gel; do not aggressively scrape or peel.
