How to use F.O.X Hard Gel:

Nail Extensions with Dual Forms:

1. Prepare the nail: cleanse with F.O.X Nail Prep and apply Ultrabond acid-free primer for better adhesion.

2. Apply a thin layer of an elastic base (e.g., F.O.X Power Base or F.O.X Rubber Base) with rubbing movements.

3. Cure in a 36W UV lamp for 1 minute or a 36/48W LED/UV lamp for 30 seconds.

4. Choose the appropriate Dual Form for each nail and fill it evenly with the gel.

5. Gently press the Dual Form onto the nail, removing excess gel around the edges.

6. Cure in a 36W UV lamp for 2–3 minutes or a 36/48W LED/UV lamp for 2–4 minutes.

7. Remove the form and file the nail to the desired shape.

Strengthening Natural Nails:

1. Apply a thin first layer of Hard Gel, working it thoroughly into the nail.

2. Cure in a UV lamp for 1 minute or LED/UV lamp for 30 seconds.

3. Apply a second layer for leveling and creating the perfect nail architecture.

4. Cure in a UV lamp for 2–3 minutes or LED/UV lamp for 2–4 minutes.

Extensions with Paper Forms:

1. Secure the form under the free edge of the nail.

2. Apply a thin layer of Hard Gel to the natural nail and extend it onto the form to create the base.

3. Cure in a UV lamp for 2–3 minutes or LED/UV lamp for 2–4 minutes.

4. Add additional layers if needed, curing each time.

5. Remove the form and file the nail.

After these steps, the nail is ready for gel polish or top coat.

Removal:
– Remove only by filing with a nail file or drill.

Pro tip:
Keep the gel jar clean by making a small cut in the foil instead of removing it completely. This prevents leaks and premature curing. Use the edge of the foil to wipe off excess product for precise application!
