Sanitize
Always sanitize yourself and your client before starting any
service. Step
1 - Etch
Using the black portion of the Galaxy© Combo File, etch the nail plate from north to
south pushing back the cuticle at the same time. Step
2 - Dust
Remove all dust and debris from
the nail plate. If dust is left on the nail plate, this will
encourage lifting. Do this by using a nylon manicuring brush. Step
3 - Balance
One squirt of Galaxy's Balance® before primer disinfects and raises
the ph level of the nail plate. Step
4 - Priming
Using Galaxy Primer, remember
a little goes a long way. Start by draining the excess primer off
the brush, then moisten the nail plate covering entire nail
but avoiding contact to the skin. Allow primer to dry
completely. Without using a blow dryer, fan or light. These appliances will only cause the primer to evaporate into the
air, not allowing it to go through it's full chemical process.
Step 5 - Apply
Forms
Apply
forms to all 10 fingers by placing the form under the free-edge tightly
on both corners. Lay the form down on the back of the finger, then
with one hand squeeze at the stress area and with the other hand, pinch
tab ends together.
Step 6 -
Re-prime
After the first coat has
dried completely apply second coat using the same procedure as
before. This coat must also dry completely before applying
product. Tip:
When combining liquid and powder, use a 2 to 1 liquid to powder ratio
for white and 3 to 1 for pink, place brush in powder, press and lift
out. (fig.1) 
Step
7 - Apply
Product
First, slightly
moisten the nail plate with your Fast Set® System Monomer. This will
increase adhesion. Use caution around the skin. Using
a wet, not runny consistency. Next, apply the free-edge
using the Fast Set System White Powder in area 1 (fig.2). Pat to shape. Then apply a
small ball of Fast Set System Pink Powder at the cuticle area in area 2
(fig.2). Pat into
place and stroke downward to blend. |
|
The
next two balls should be placed in areas 3 & 4, between the cuticle
ball and the free-edge ((fig.2). Pat the pink balls
together then stroke down to blend.
Step
8 - File
Using the white side of the Galaxy Combo File, file
the sides and free-edge on all ten nails. Then shape the top
surface being sure to smooth out the cuticle area. Step
9 - Buff and Oil
Buff the nails using
the Galaxy Terminator® or white block buffer , being sure to remove all scratches. After buffing,
rehydrate your clients cuticles using Galaxy's nourishing Almond Oil. This
will rehydrate and soften the cuticles. Next, have client scrub
using a stiff pre-sterilized nylon manicure brush to remove all excess
oil and debris.
Step
10 - Liquid Glass
Liquid
Glass is a plastic sealer that is put over a pink and white nail.
Liquid Glass has UV inhibitors so it works like a sunscreen for the
nails. Liquid Glass may not be used as a base coat or
top coat with polish. Step
11 - Smudge Me Not Top Coat
Add
a coat of Galaxy's Smudge Me Not top coat to finish your client
beautifully over Liquid Glass or polish. Smudge Me Not is
non-yellowing, dries in under 3 minutes
and can be used over Liquid Glass for a flawless finish and
prevents the sticky finish caused by sunscreens, hair products,
perfumes and other elements. |
