Here are some tricks of the trade to make sure that you're providing your clients with the best Gelish service possible: 1. For a long-lasting Gelish manicure, make sure to prep the nail properly — this includes shaping the nail with a 240/240 thin wooden file, pushing back the cuticle and removing any non-living tissue from the nail plate, removing the shine from the nail plate using a 180-grit buffer, and applying Gelish Nail Surface Cleanse to a lint-free nail wipe to remove any dust. Lastly, be sure to apply a thin coat of Gelish pH bond to remove excess moisture from the nail plate. 2. Always apply Gelish Foundation Base Gel in a thin, even layer. After curing, be sure to dry-brush the Gelish Foundation Base Gel layer with a small, clean nail art brush to remove any excess product. 3. Always cap the free edge as part of each step! This helps seal in the manicure and helps prevent chipping and peeling. 4. The Gelish 18G LED light offers the fastest cure time in the industry. The best part? LED lights are considered the safest way to cure nails. Your clients will thank you for keeping their best interests in mind. 5. Always finish off your Gelish manicure with Gelish Nourish Cuticle Oil — it will keep your clients' cuticles hydrated and it smells amazing! 6. Do your clients have ridges, combined with weak, damaged nails? Gelish Structure Gel Soak Off Repair Gel reinforces strength, enhances the nail and repairs the nail plate, while creating a smooth surface for a Gelish application. Promote Gelish Structure as an add-on service or stand alone service after analyzing your client's nail beds. The Best. Need We Say More? © 2014 Hand & Nail Harmony, Inc. • Made in the USA HM-3318
