1. Prepare in advance. Use LeChat Gelös (a gel thinner made for gel-polish) to thin the viscosity of all gel- polish systems. This will save you time instead of the old method of placing the gel-polish bottle in a warm cup of water and waiting for the gel to loosen up. 2. Offer a dry manicure. It's going to cut your service time by at least 10 minutes. You won't have to walk back and forth to get the water bowl and clean up after it. A dry manicure will also mean less trimming of the cuticles because once you soak your client's hand in water, the cuticle will soften and expand. This will result in more cuticle trimming than necessary. We recommend simply applying cuticle remover, push back the cuticles, and just buff it clean. You only trim what's sticking up. Just make sure to clean the nail bed really well with LeChat's Nobility Gel Cleanser & Nail Prep Solution to make sure it's free of any cuticle remover residues. Then proceed to the application process. 3. Cut your service time in half. By simply choosing LeChat's Pro Tec 2 in 1 LED/UV Cured Soak Off Gel Polish Base and Top, it'll cut your curing time by at least 75%. What does this mean? It will cut your service time by half. This system cures 30 seconds in the LeChat UV Lamp or 15 seconds in the LeChat SMD LED Lamp. The great thing is this base and top coat is conveniently bottled in one. So it'll also save you time for any confusion of which bottle is which. 4. Use a gel-polish with a "perfect match." Many of your clients ask for matching hands and feet. For instance, your client is wearing a soak-off gel- polish on her hands and she wants a matching nail polish on her toenails. The trouble to look around for a matching gel-polish color and nail polish color is time-consuming. LeChat's Perfect Match Soak Off Gel Polish system solves this problem. We have it all made just for you — it's pre- packaged with one gel-polish bottle and one matching nail polish bottle. 5. LED speeds everything up. Gel-polish was originally made to be used with traditional UV lamps, which can take up to two minutes to cure each layer. Now with the great modern technology why not switch over to LED lamps, which dry gel-polish in 30 seconds? LeChat's gel-polish system is made to be used along with the LeChat SMD LED Lamp with just a simple click of a button. sponsored by su r v i v al guide Coping with a Busy Schedule 800.533.2428 • www.lechatnails.com
