    Perfect Manicure in No Time – One Step Color Gel Polishes 3 in 1 – Step-by-Step Procedure

    How to achieve a perfect manicure without lifting in no time? The key to long wear is careful nail preparation and the correct application procedure.

    This procedure is based on common salon practice but is designed to be easy to follow even for home use. It can be used for both hands and feet. Take your time – the result will pleasantly surprise you.

    1. Disinfect your hands using SKIN DISINFECTANT. From this point on, avoid touching the nails with your hands and work only with tools.

    2. Lightly roughen the nail surface using a FILE with 180 grit, working in only one direction – either from right to left or vice versa. Never use a grit coarser than 180 on natural nails.

    3. Using the same 180 grit file, shape the free edge of the nail to the desired form.

    4. Gently push back the cuticles using an ORANGE WOOD STICK or a PUSHER. If you use an e-file, choose a gentle BABY BIT at very low speed to slightly lift the cuticle. Then carefully remove excess cuticle using CUTICLE SCISSORS or CUTICLE NIPPERS.
    This step is commonly used in salons for a cleaner result and longer-lasting manicure.

    5. Remove dust with a DUSTING BRUSH and thoroughly cleanse the nail using CLEANSER and LINT-FREE WIPES.

    6. Apply NAIL PREP to the entire natural nail, followed by a thin layer of ULTRABOND PRIMER. Allow it to air-dry.

    7. For problematic, soft, or weakened nails, GUMMY BASE can be used as a strengthening layer. Apply a very thin layer and cure for 30 seconds in a UV/LED lamp.
    This step is commonly used in salons to increase strength and extend the longevity of the manicure.

    8. Apply a thin layer of ONE STEP COLOR GEL POLISH in the desired shade. For fine corrections around the cuticle and sidewalls, use the detail brush DRAWING No. 003. Cure in a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds. If necessary, apply and cure a second thin layer.

    9. ONE STEP gel polishes are no-wipe, so applying a top coat is not required. However, if you want to extend wear time and increase durability, a final TOP COAT can be applied – a method commonly used in salons.

    10. For regeneration and nourishment, gently massage one of the NAIL CARE products into the area around the nail bed.

    ONE STEP gel polishes 3 in 1 are the ideal choice for a fast, simple, and effective manicure without unnecessary steps. With proper preparation and correct application, they ensure long-lasting wear, perfect adhesion, and a manicure without lifting, whether performed in a salon or at home.
