APPLICATION

NAIL PREP

• Sanitise your own and your client’s hands.

• Use a cuticle pusher to push back the cuticles before trimming away the excess

with nippers.

• File nails into shape using The GelBottle 220/240 Grit File.

• Gently buff nails using a 100/180 Grit Buffer to remove any shine.

• Dehydrate and cleanse the nail plate using 100% pure acetone. No “prep-and-wipe”

or “scrub-fresh” solutions.

BASE COAT

• Apply a base coat of BIAB™, 2in1 Base Coat, Rubber Base Coat, All-in-1 BIAB™

or a gel colour.

• Seal the free edge.

• Cure for 60 seconds in Light The Way Lamp or if using Rubber Base, 99 seconds

on low heat mode. The lamp has been specifically designed to cure TGB products.

We do not recommend the use of other lamps.

• Begin creating your design on top of a fully cured base coat, colour or BIAB™.

• Cure using the Light The Way Lamp for 60 seconds.

TOP COAT

• Apply Extreme Shine Top, Rubber Top, Matte Top or All-in-1 BIAB™ and seal the free

edge.

• Cure using the Light The Way Lamp for 60 seconds. If using Matte Top or Rubber Top,

cure for 99 seconds on low heat mode to avoid heat spikes.

• There is no need to wipe or cleanse after curing.

*Only All-in-1 BIAB™ needs to be cleansed or buffed after curing to remove

tacky layer*

REMOVAL

PREP

• Sanitise your own and your client’s hands.

TOP COAT REMOVAL

• Using the 120/180 Grit File, remove the top coat by filing the entire surface

of the leftover gel polish until the shine has gone completely.

SOAK OFF

• Soak TGB Lint Free Wipes in plenty of 100% acetone and wrap fingers in foil or

place them (folded) in nail clips on each finger.

• Leave to soak for 10 to 15 minutes. Times may vary depending on the products

used, such as nail art, glitter, and number of layers.

• Remove the foil or clip from one nail whilst keeping the other nails wrapped in

acetone. Use a cuticle pusher to gently scrape away the gel.

• Do not force the gel off. If it is still hard, allow the gel to soak for longer.

• Use a sharp Cuticle Pusher to remove any remaining soaked gel.

• Make sure you support the client’s natural nail tip with your finger while removing

the gel to avoid bending or snapping the nail.

5 BUFF AND SHAPE

• If there is any base coat residue left, use a 100/180 Grit Buffer to gently remove.

• Any base coat left on the nail plate needs to be only slightly buffed to avoid

over buffing the natural nail. Concentrate on areas around the cuticles.
