Press On Tape • 10 sheets

Press On Tape from The Gel Collection introduces an alternative attachment of Soft Gel Press On Tips. These new Press On Tapes allow for wearing Soft Gel Press On Tips occasionally for up to 3 days, as an alternative to the traditional UV-curing gel glue, which lasts 3-4 weeks.

Press On Tape consists of small, double-sided gel pads that allow the tips to adhere to the natural nails gently for up to 3 days. The tips either fall off naturally without damaging the nails, or they can be easily removed by applying a drop of oil under each nail to dissolve the double-sided gel. This makes Press On Tape an ideal temporary solution for beautiful nails.

If it is your first time using Press On Tape, you may want to look at the Press On Tape Starter Kit HERE.

Advantages
• Super fast application in under 20 minutes
• Beautiful Soft Gel Press On Tips for up to 3 days
• Gentle removal with oil in about 10 minutes
• No UV light or build-up necessary

Who is Press On Tape for?
The Press On Tape method can be used by anyone. However, it is particularly suitable for those who only occasionally want to use nails, those with sensitive skin or allergies to nail products, healthcare professionals (or other professions) who can only use nail products in their free time, young people who are not yet old enough to use UV-curing gel products, and many, many more.

Quantity: 10 sheets of 24 tapes (240 tapes in total)

How to apply Gel Tips – step by step

Gel Tips are pre-shaped extensions cured in place with Tip Gel – salon length in one evening.

1. Find the right tip size – the edges should line up with your natural nail. File the sides and cuticle area if needed, and note the sizes.
2. File the inside, and clean – roughen the area that sits on the nail, and clean with cleaner (some tips come pre-roughened).
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. Base coat – a very thin layer, seal the free edge, and cure the whole hand in the lamp.
5. Apply and fix the tips with Tip Gel (UV-curing) – a small bead of Tip Gel in the centre of the tip – it cures in the UV lamp – press it on at a slight angle from the cuticle outwards so no air gets trapped. Cure with the mini lamp, then fully cure in the large lamp.This product is used in step 5
6. File the tip (if needed) – and roughen the surface, clean with cleaner.
7. Gel Polish colour – two thin coats, cure between coats.
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.
