Soft Gel Tips – Stiletto

Step 1
File your nails with a Lola Lee 100/180 Nail File to your desired length and shape them. If you use a nail clipper, ensure they are evenly shaped.

Step 2
Apply Lola Lee Cuticle Remover to all your cuticles, allow this product +/- 1 min to soften your cuticles.

Step 3
Gently push back your cuticles from the nail plate with a Lola Lee Cuticle Pusher. Metal Cuticle Pushers do a good job, but please be gentle! You only want to remove your cuticle not a layer of your nail. Double-check for cuticle debris by pulling back the sidewalls of the nail.

Step 4
Buff the entire surface of the nail with the Lola Lee Buffer, removing the natural shine of the nail only. You don’t want to use anything rough on the natural nail, as this will damage your nails.

Step 5
Remove any filing dust and Cuticle Remover by cleansing the nail with a Lola Lee Nail Wipe and a drop of Lola Lee Sani Liquid.

Step 6
Size all 10 Soft Gel Tips before beginning the application process. Use a medium pressure over the nail to ensure the best fit over the nail and around the cuticle area, ensuring no gaps near the cuticle and the side of the nails.

Step 7
Apply Lola Lee Prep It to the natural nail plate, this will allow for better adhesion of the product to the natural nail.

Step 8
Apply the Soft Gel Adhesive to the Soft Gel Tip contact area which is the underside of the Soft Gel Tip.

Step 9
Place the Soft Gel Tip onto the nail, starting firmly from the cuticle area and pressing slowly, with constant pressure, toward the free edge. Ensure that there is a close fit on the sides of the nails and there is no product under the nail and around the cuticles before curing. If air bubbles are present, remove and reapply.

Step 10
Flash cure for 10 seconds under our Flash Cure Lamp, holding the Soft Gel Tip firmly in place to maintain a good seal.

Step 11
Repeat the process on the rest of the fingers to complete one full hand.

Step 12
Cure in a LED lamp for 60 seconds or UV Lamp for 120 seconds.

Step 13
Repeat process on the other hand.

Step 14
File your nails with a Lola Lee 100/180 Nail File to your desired length and shape them.

Step 15
Apply 2-3 thin coats of Lola Lee Brush On Gel to the tip and cure.

You don’t need to add an additional colour coat. However, if you do choose another colour to apply. Apply the Lola Lee Gel Polish Colour and cure in a LED/UV lamp.
