4. Remove the form, adjust the structure, then cure again.

Pro tips for a perfect result

• Allow the gel to stabilize for a few seconds before curing to avoid filing.
• Use a flat and soft brush to control the gel's fluidity without overflowing.
• Do not overload: two thin coats provide a more even result than one thick coat.
• Use a 48W LED/UV lamp to ensure optimal polymerization.
• Work hand by hand to maintain control over the product before curing.

Storage and precautions for use

• Close the jar tightly after each use to prevent exposure to air or light.
• Store in a cool place, away from UV/LED light.
• Avoid contact with the skin to prevent possible sensitivities.
• Clean your brushes after each use with a suitable cleanser.
