How to extend on classic tips – step by step

Extension on tips glues a plastic tip on and builds on top with PolyGel or Builder Gel.

1. File your natural nails – so they fit the tips.
2. Find the right tip size – the edges should line up with the natural nail. File the sides and cuticle area to fit.This product is used in steps 2 and 4
3. Prep – file length and shape, push back the cuticles, buff the surface lightly, clean with cleaner and apply primer (air-dries in 60 sec.). Watch the prep video guide →
4. Glue on the tips with Tip Glue (air-drying) – a small drop of Tip Glue on the tip – it is air-drying, not UV-curing – press it on at a slight angle so no air gets trapped. Then adjust length, shape and the blend into the natural nail.
5. Base coat – a very thin layer, seal the free edge, and cure the whole hand in the lamp.
6. Build the nail's shape – with builder gel or PolyGel over the whole nail, and cure.
7. File the shape (if desired) – remove the sticky layer with a wipe and cleaner, file the nail, and wipe it free of dust.
8. Top coat – seal the free edge, and cure.
9. Nail oil – wash your hands and finish with oil at the cuticles and under the nail.
