The OCHO NAILS Gel light pink is a single-phase UV building gel designed for professional nail stylists to create shaped and durable nail extensions and stylisations. It features self-leveling and thixotropic properties for easy application without dripping or flooding the cuticles.
This gel offers a slightly milky light pink shade, suitable for styles such as baby boomer, French manicure, or as a standalone colour. The formula reduces the burning sensation during curing, facilitating comfortable use for both experienced and beginner users.
Its thixotropic, or liquid memory, property ensures the gel is stable on the nail surface yet easy to apply, preventing drips and cuticle flooding. The self-leveling characteristic promotes an even finish, making it suitable for nail extensions and smooth shaping.
1. Disinfect both your and client's hands thoroughly and prepare the workspace.
2. Shape nails with an appropriate file and gently mattify the nail plate; prepare cuticles if needed.
3. Degrease the nail plate with a cotton pad soaked in degreaser; optionally apply primer and base coat to enhance adhesion and protect the nail plate.
4. For nail extensions, apply a well-fitted template and build the nail structure using the gel; cure under a UV lamp.
5. Remove the template, then apply gel to the created structure, forming the stylisation with attention to the C-curve; cure in the lamp.
6. Clean the gel surface with a cleanser, then shape and smooth nails with a file and polishing block.
7. Apply top coat, cure in the lamp, then cleanse. Finish by applying nourishing oil to the cuticles for care.
