6) selecting right size of gel-x tips for your nails

7) small amount of soft gel adhesive (or builder gel) to the underside of the Gel-X tips

8) positioning the Gel-X tip onto your natural nail starting from the cuticle area. Press down firmly (at 45°) + ensure there are no air bubbles

9) cure 30-60 secs

10) once all the tips are applied and cured, file and buff to remove shine and to shape the tips to your desired length and shape

11) apply base coat to the gel-x tips and cure 30-60 secs

12) apply gel polish as your desired base color. for example, i want strawberry inspired nails, i want the base color to be pinkish-reddish

12) design as you wish/how the clients want - the length and shape of the nails (square, almond, coffin, stiletto) will influence the design. For example, longer nails offer more space for detailed art, while shorter nails might benefit from simpler, more compact designs. As you design, you can also make your own 3D charms for your nails with sculpting nails (example : ggulbu gel for miffy nails). For adhering 3D charms on nails, use builder gel/hard gel to adhere the charms on the tips and cure.

13) finish off your nailwork by applying topcoat (glossy/matte according to your preference) on each nails and cure for 30-60 secs.

14) wipe the nails with alcohol or a cleanser to remove any sticky residue left by the topcoat or other residues

15) apply cuticle oil to nourish the cuticles
