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 Brown 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

How do I stop the brush leaving a line where two strokes meet?
Load the brush evenly and place each stroke so it slightly overlaps the last while the gel is still wet, then let it settle before curing. With a transparent shade like Glass Brown any overlap shows as a darker line, so work quickly and keep the coat thin.

How is Glass Brown different from Glass Black?
Glass Black is a transparent black with a neutral undertone for a smoky stained-glass look. Glass Brown is a transparent brown with a warm undertone, so its tint reads as warm tea rather than smoke.

Does transparent brown suit short nails?
Yes, perhaps even better than an opaque shade. The glass effect of Glass Brown does not make a short nail look smaller, because there is no sharp line against the finger.

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.
