How To: Correctly Prepare and Infill with Acrylic Gel

Описание: Hello everybody in today's video I’m going to be doing my infills cause man do they need to be done!

I'll start by removing my old design I’m going to use my brand new straight nippers from Nailed by Lucy to remove the bling from this design, now I’m going to remove the gel from this design and I'll show you two different ways of doing that so first of all if you have gel product on a natural nail then use a mandril bit with a medium sanding band, If you have extensions on then use a ceramic bit we have a pink and a purple one here and we will use the pink if there is just a few layers of gel and the purple for move heavy-duty use.

Now ill going to do some cuticle work so using my cuticle bit making sure the rotation of the e-file is pointing away from my nail and we are just filing away any non-living tissue, now we're going to use the proximal fold bit on our e-file still making sure the rotation is pointing away from the nail.

Now ill pop a fine sanding band on my mandrill bit and etch the product around the cuticle area and take away any shine, ok now lets give them a good dust over and I’m going to clean them up using the nail cleanser by Nailchemy.

Now I’m going to do my infills and I’m going to be using Aura Acrylic-gel, prep, and base coat all by Nailchemy, I'll start using the Nail prep essentials just where my natural nail is and ill give that a few seconds to dry and then I’m going to use the base coat again on the natural nail just slightly coming up on to the product and then cure.

Now ill take the Nailchemy spatular with a pea-sized clump of the Nailchemy Aura Acrylic Gel and pop that at the cuticle area, now ill take my BrenDek brush and I have my slip solution in a dappen dish dip your brush in the slip solution and tap the excess off either side before making contact with the nail, then start by shaping the cuticle and reshaping the apex before blending the rest of the product in with the nail and cure it, now I’m going to do the same on the rest of my nails.

Now ill use the cleanser and a lint-free pad to take the sticky layer off the acrylic gel and ill use my metal file to get my side walls nice and straight, Now ill going to set up a metal file board ill start by giving it a clean with the Navy Hygiene spray and then ill pop a 150 grit on one side and a 180 grit on the other and score the edges using a clean disposable file and then we can file our nails in to shape.

Now I’m just going to run over the nails with my buffer make them all nice and smooth then ill wipe over with the cleanser and that’s it now these nails are ready for some artwork.

Lots of love KM xoxo
