1. PREPARATION: Thoroughly prepare the nail, removing any dead skin and loose cuticle off and around the nail plate. Lightly buff the nail with a sponge buffer to remove any dirt and excess shine. Wipe any moisture from the nail using alcohol to prepare it for your gel application.

2. OPTIONAL - BASE: Apply base gel to the natural nail and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp. 

3. SUPER GELIP BOND: Wipe down Gelip with alcohol to prepare for application. Apply Super Gelip Bond Nail Gel to the Gelip only on the area where the Gelip will bond with the natural nail and apply the remaining gel from the brush to the base of the Gelip.

4. APPLY GELIP: Attach slightly above the cuticle area and flash cure, giving a full cure once all tips are applied. File edge to blend with the natural nail to provide a seamless look.

5. OVERLAY: Sand surface with a sponge buffer and apply a layer of any KOKOIST base gel and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp to prepare the nail for color application.

6. COLOR: Apply gel color of choice and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.

7. TOP: Apply KOKOIST Top Coat Gel and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.

NOTE: 

• KOKOIST Gelips are able to be fully soaked-off or re-filled.
• We recommend using a strong curing unit or else gel will not cure all the way through causing lifting or peeling. Follow the recommended curing times for each step.
• Be careful not to get gel onto the skin. Gel applied over the cuticle or around the eponychium area can cause lifting. Uncured gel left on the skin can cause allergic reactions to occur. Discontinue use immediately if itching, redness or swelling occurs on your skin, and contact a physician.
