Nail Evolution by Star Nail

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrintRSS

Star Nail’s Nail Evolution, consisting of a liquid monomer and bonding acrylic powder, is engineered for maximum bonding of acrylic to natural nails. Primer is not required, and Nail Evolution is guaranteed to not lift or yellow. 


1. Spray your and your client’s hands with Star Nail Sani Spray. Prep the nail. 


2. Apply two coats of Natural Nail Dehydrant to all nails.


3. For tips, apply a small amount of nail glue to the tip well area. Holding the prepared tip at a 45-degree angle, press tip well section to the free edge. Cut and file.


4. Apply primer to the nails if necessary. Apply forms or tips, making sure they fit snugly. Pinch the bottom of the form. Use the cut-out center circle to hold the form secure.


5. Immerse a sable brush into the Nail Evolution Acrylic Liquid, then pick up a ball of white Nail Evolution powder, using two parts liquid to one part powder. Use the brush body to pat the product and form a smile line.


6. Pick up a ball of pink Nail Evolution Bonding Powder and apply to half of the nail body, behind the smile line. Apply another ball of pink powder behind the second ball near the cuticle area. Thin out the product application as it tapers toward the cuticle.


7. Take the form off and pinch the sides using both thumbs to complete the C-curve before the acrylic sets.


8. File, finish, and buff.
