How to Apply Rock Hard Liquid and Powder in Seven Easy Steps
STEP 1 Follow the steps for Rock Hard Nails preparation and Get Bent Nail Form application. Saturate your Artistic #8 Oval Acrylic Brush with Centre Stage Monomer Nail Liquid and wipe out the liquid completely on a lint free wipe to prepare the brush for each use.
STEP 2
Pick up a medium bead of VIP Blush Pink or Clear and wait until it turns creamy. Place the bead on the apex area. Tap the top edge of the bead as close to the cuticle as possible, leaving a tiny free margin between the product and the skin. Press the bottom edge of the bead onto the nail form to create the extension. Brush the surface to smooth.
STEP 3
Pick up second bead of VIP Polymer Powder, wait until creamy and place at the apex of the nail. With your brush flat, lightly pat the product towards the cuticle and brush the bead towards the end of the extension to fill in low spots, build arch, and provide strength and structure.
STEP 4
During polymerisation, the curing or hardening process, the nail will feel warm and be ready to mould the c-curve. Carefully remove Get Bent nail form. Use appropriate sized Artistic C-Curve Stick under the edge of the nail and press the edge of the nail around it to create your c-curve.
STEP 5
Apply another large bead to the apex area. Clean brush on a lint free wipe. With your brush flat lightly guide the product on top of the bead to fill in low spots to provide strength and structure.
STEP 6 Then gently press on each side of the nail with your thumbs to hold the c-curve in place while the product continues to cure. Repeat steps 3-7.
STEP 7* Refine the L&P application using the Rock Hard Nails Filing Method followed by your choice of the finishing techniques.
*After completing all seven steps you are now ready to start with the design steps! Check out the next issue of Polished for these tips and tricks!
