THE GELBOTTLE INC Flashing Pigments
INSTRUCTION FOR USE
These two techniques achieve slightly different finishes so you can pick which one to follow based on what your clients would like.
Note: Steps 1-5 apply for both techniques.
SUGARING TECHNIQUE
This is a nail art technique where glitter powder is added to the nails over the topcoat to create a textured look.
STEP 1:
Follow our TGB Gel Polish/BIAB™ Application Guide up to the topcoat section.
STEP 2:
Once you have applied your two coats of gel polish — or applied your BIAB™ of choice and cured — apply one layer of topcoat. Don’t cure this layer yet.
STEP 3:
Take your Flashing Pigment and ProPrep tool (or anything you can use to scoop the powder up) and sprinkle the powder over the uncured gel topcoat.
STEP 4:
Once the nail is covered in your chosen Flashing Pigment powder, cure in the Light The Way Nail Lamp for 60 seconds.
STEP 5:
Dust off any excess pigment using your TGB Dusting Brush.
STEP 6:
Finish with the Cuticle Essence, massaging upwards to avoid getting any oil on the nail.
ENCAPSULATING FLASHING PIGMENTS
This is a nail art technique where glitter powder is sealed into the nail using a clear high viscosity product e.g. topcoat, clear BIAB™ or Diamond ProForm™ (clear).
STEP 1:
Follow our TGB Gel Polish/BIAB™ Application Guide up to the topcoat section.
STEP 2:
Once you have applied your two coats of gel polish — or applied your BIAB™ of choice and cured — apply one layer of topcoat. Don’t cure this layer yet.
STEP 3:
Take your Flashing Pigment and ProPrep tool (or anything you can use to scoop the powder up) and sprinkle the powder over the uncured gel top coat.
STEP 4:
Once the nail is covered in your chosen Flashing Pigment powder, cure in the Light The Way Nail Lamp for 60 seconds.
STEP 5:
Dust off any excess pigment using your TGB Dusting Brush.
STEP 6:
Encapsulate the cured loose glitter in Extreme Shine Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds. Alternatively, you can encapsulate in Clear BIAB™ or ProForm™ for a smoother encapsulation.
STEP 7:
Finish with the Cuticle Essence, massaging upwards to avoid getting any oil on the nail.
