These 9D Cat Eye Gel Polishes are out of this world
10 color-shifting cat-eye gel polish shades will give your mani a multi-dimensional look
Paired over our #043 gel polish, included in this collection, and 1 x No Wipe Topcoat to create the maximum cat eye effect
Use with Magnets to get the cat eye effect
APPLICATION OVER NATURAL NAILS:Have your client thoroughly wash & dry their hands
Lightly push back the proximal fold with our Ugly Duckling Cuticle Tool or C-Curve Tool
Gently Etch the nail plate with our Ugly Duckling Medium Zebra File
If you prefer using our e-file, a Medium Arbor Sanding Band works great
Remove all dust
Do not use a cleanser that contains oil
Apply Ugly Duckling Prep to all 10 nails
Apply Ugly Duckling Primer to all 10 nails
Apply 1 coat of Natural Base or Build-A-Base being sure to wrap the edges and cure for 60 seconds in your Ugly Duckling LED Gel Lamp
Do not remove the inhibition layer from the cured base
Apply Gel Polish sparingly
Wipe one side of the polish brush completely clean, and 1/3 - 1/2 of the other side
Stroke evenly on the nail, making sure to wrap the edge of the natural nail
Apply 4 fingers and cure
Repeat on the other hand
Apply both thumbs and cure for 60 seconds in your Ugly Duckling LED Gel Lamp
Be sure each coat has a full cure: ze-curing, or applying the product too generously may cause the product to wrinkle
Apply 1-3 coats until desired coverage is acheived
Top with your choice of Ugly Duckling Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds
If using our Tacky Top or Matte Top Coat: once fully cured, allow the nails to "cool" for about 45-60 seconds before cleansing the inhibition layer with our Gel Cleanse
Cleansing too soon after the final cure can risk the top coat dulling (Tacky Top) or not appearing as matte as possible (Matte Top Coat)
APPLICATION OVER ACRYLIC, SCULPTING GEL, VELVETEEN ACRYGEL & BUILD-A-BASE:Finish shaping your enhancement with our Ugly Duckling Medium grit Zebra File or if you prefer an e-file, our Medium grit Arbor Sanding Bands work great
Do not buff or finish the nail with anything finer than a Medium grit or you may risk the polish peeling
Remove all dust
Do not use a cleanser on the surface of the enhancement
Do not use alcohol or acetone as it will soften the grooves and create too smooth a suface for maximum adhesion
Apply Gel Polish directly over the dust- enhancements
We do not use Prep, Primer or Base Coat over enhancements prior to Gel Polish application
Simply shape/finish file and follow steps 7-10 from above "over natural nails"
REMOVAL:Although our gel polishes are a soakable formulation, we prefer to remove by filing
This minimizes over-exposure to chemicals
We suggest using a hand file or an e-file, whichever you feel most comfortable with
