Before You Begin
Before you start your nail treatment, there are a few key steps you should follow to tailor the process specifically to you. These steps are important for ensuring optimal durability and a nail treatment that doesn’t harm you.
1. Master the basics
- Find the step-by-step guides relevant to your chosen products and read through them.
- Watch the accompanying video guides at The Gel Collection. The videos visually walk through each step of your nail treatment and are a great complement to the written instructions. You can also watch them while doing your nails for better guidance.
2. Prepare your nail tools
- Gather all the nail tools you will need.
- Set up your tools so that they are easily accessible during your treatment. Sit in a well-lit area where you can comfortably use both hands. Have your coffee or TV show ready so you won’t need to interrupt the treatment.
- Ensure all tools are clean and disinfected. See page 20 in the theory book or our online learning universe here.
3. Examine your nails
- Identify your nail type. See page 5 in the theory book.
- Identify your nail shape and growth direction if you plan to extend or strengthen your nails. See page 12 in the theory book.
- Check for any nail damage or conditions. See page 26 in the theory book.
