If you intend to soak off and start over, please refer to the section on removing nails.  Be advised that the soak time will be a little bit longer for tip extensions.

1.      Before application, it is very important that you stir your Soak Off Gels with a Birch Wood Stick.  Some of the colors with heavy pigments may settle. 

2.      Prepare all of the nails by pushing back and removing all of the cuticles.  This step is very important.  The most common cause of lifting is cuticle left on the nail.

3.      Using a 240 grit file or White Buffer Block, gently remove the natural shine from all of the regrowth area.  This removes surface oils and contaminants on the nail plate.  Using the same file or buffer, file over the existing gel to thin it down a layer.

4.      Apply a small amount of Soak Off Clear Gel to the regrowth area only and cure for 30 seconds in a 36 Watt UV Light.

5.      Apply a small amount of Soak Off Pink Gel to the regrowth area only and cure for 3 minutes in a 36 Watt UV Light.

6.      Apply a coat of Soak Off Clear Gel to the entire nail and cure for 3 minutes in a 36 Watt UV Light. Using the Finishing Wipe and a lint free Wipe, remove the induction layer (sticky layer) one nail at a time.  Do not use the same wipe on more than one nail.  If you do this you will cause your other nails to lose their shine.  This is caused when you remove the induction layer and spread it on the remaining nails.

7.      Apply a coat of Top Coat over all the nails to seal and protect them.  Let them air dry.

If you need to replace your smile line, during step 3 you would need to file off the existing smile line.  You can reapply it between step 5 and 6
