How to apply

1. Prep the cuticle area with Cuticle Remover: apply a small amount to the cuticle, gently push it back with an orange stick or a pusher and lift off the pterygium.
2. Prep the nail plate: degrease it with a cleanser such as Cleanser, then dehydrate it with Nail Prep. Duo Prep covers both steps in one product. Then apply Ultrabond Primer for better adhesion to the nail plate. The primer needs no curing, it air-dries.
3. Apply Rubber Base or Base Coat in one thin layer and cure.
4. Apply Glass Black in one or two thin coats, curing each coat.
5. Finish with a top coat and cure according to its instructions.
6. Wait at least 60 seconds after curing the top coat before applying cuticle oil, so the top coat keeps its shine.

Gel polish curing time: 60-120 sec in an LED lamp, 30-60 sec in a 48 W dual LED lamp. Curing time depends on the power of the lamp and its LEDs, so check it separately for each product.

Frequently asked questions

What is a high-pigment gel polish?
One with a heavy pigment load that hides the nail in one or two thin coats. Glass Black works the other way: it is a sheer black that lays a smoky, greyish veil over the nail or over a colour, so the layer underneath stays visible.

How is Glass Black different from Black King?
Black King is an opaque black that covers the nail plate fully. Glass Black is sheer and works as a smoky veil over whatever lies underneath.

Can I apply Glass Black over a colour?
Yes, that is one of its main uses. Over a cured colour coat it mutes the shade and gives it a smoky look, while the colour underneath still shows through.

Colours on screen can look different from the real shade: monitor calibration and display settings both affect it. If you are unsure about a shade, get in touch and we will show you the actual colour.
