The GelBottle Short Oval Tips DesignEx Pro

Prep the Natural Nails

• Gently push back the cuticles and lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine.
• Cleanse the nails with a lint-free wipe and nail cleanser to remove oils or debris for better adhesion.

Select the Correct Tip Size

• Choose the appropriate Tips Design Ex Pro size for each nail to ensure a perfect fit side-to-side on the natural nail.

Apply Adhesive or Base Gel

• Apply a thin layer of TheGelBottle Base Gel or adhesive gel to the natural nail.
• Cure the base layer as directed, typically 30 seconds under LED, to create a strong foundation for the tip.

Apply the Tips Design Ex Pro

• Add a small amount of builder or adhesive gel to the underside of the tip near the cuticle end.
• Position the tip onto the nail at a 45-degree angle and gently press it down to the natural nail, ensuring no air bubbles.
• Flash-cure the tip in place for about 10 seconds to secure it, then cure fully in the lamp for the recommended time.

Shape and Refine the Tip

• If needed, gently file the edges and surface to blend and refine the shape.
• Buff the surface lightly if applying additional gel color or builder gel on top.

Apply Top Coat or Gel Color

• Finish with a top coat for a natural look or proceed with gel color application if desired.
• Cure each layer in the lamp according to the product's instructions.

Hydrate Cuticles

• Complete the look by applying cuticle oil around the nail edges.
