ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrintRSS

The Balance Body Builder gel has a thicker viscosity that allows for easy building of the upper arch. It cures to a high shine in 90 seconds and is perfect for warmer environments. Here’s how to do an extreme nail makeover with the Body Builder Cover Pink.


1. Prep the natural nail. Apply tip. Cut, file, and blend. Reapply Nailpure Plus Dehydrator and apply Balance Bond Primer. Apply thin layer of Balance One Step Clear Gel. Cure in a UV lamp for 90 seconds.


2. Apply a layer of Body Builder Cover Pink Gel to the entire surface. Cure in UV lamp for two minutes. 


3. Depending on your preference for coverage, you may want to apply a second coat of Body Builder Cover Pink Gel and cure for two more minutes.


4. Remove the tacky layer using Cleanse on a Nail Wipe. Using Brush-On French White Gel, paint a smile line. Cure for two minutes in an Ultra Pro Full Hand Lamp.


5. Without removing the tacky layer, apply one coat of Finish Clear and cure for 90 seconds. Remove the tacky layer and condition the cuticle with Nurture Oil.


6. Finished nail.
