Procedure.

1.Remove any old polish from the client’s nail, working from little finger to thumb.

2.Push back the cuticle.

3.Buff the nails to remove shine and any natural oils. Remove the dust.

 

4.Select the proper size tip. Make sure it completely covers the nail plate form sidewall to sidewall but never cover more than half the length of the nail. Trip the tip to the right size if the well cover too much of the nail.

 

5.Apply nail antiseptic to remove the remaining natural oil and to dehydrate the nail for better adhesion. Again, bean with the little finger. If you accidentally touch the nails after you apply antiseptic, you must clean them again and reapply antiseptic.

 

6.apply adhesive on the nail plate to cover the area where the tip will be placed.

Do not let adhesive run onto the skin. Apply adhesive from the middle of the nail plate to the free edge. An alternate method Is to apply adhesive to the well of the tip. This may ensure that fewer air bubbles are trapped in the adhesive.

 

7.Apply a bead of adhesive to the seam between the natural nail plate and the tip to strengthened the stress point.

 

Trim the nail tip to the desire length, using a tip clipper or large nail clippers. Cut from one side, then the other, if you are using the nail clipper. Cutting the tip straight across weakens the plastics.

 

9.Blend the tip into the natural nail. File the shine off the tip, keeping the file flat on the nail at all times. Never hold the file at an angle, because doing so can form a groove in the nail plate.

 

10. buff the tip for a perfect blend between the natural nail plate and the tip extension. There should be no visible line or cloudless between the two.

Shape the nail.

 

11.Proceed with any other services that may be desired. Tips are seldom worn without an additional service such as wraps, acrylic, or gels. If your client is only waring tips as a temporary service, add a drop of cuticle oil to each nail and then buff.
