How to infill Poly Nail Gel Nails?

Nails still in great condition and could just do with filling in the growth gap?

This might be the perfect solution for you as it requires less time than a full removal and application of Poly Nail Gels!

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to infill your Poly Nail Gels!

 

Step 1 : File and Prep Your Nails

  • First, file the surface of your nails to remove Gel Colour and Top Coat

  • Essential : use our Glowtips 100/180 Grit Nail File to remove lifted parts of your nails (these look a lighter colour than the Poly Nail Gel, often around the cuticle edges and can easily be picked off!)

  • Leave the remaining Poly Nail Gel on your nails

  • Prep and prime your nails, clean your cuticle area and buff nails

Step 2 : Use Nail Cleanser or Alcohol to wipe off 

  • Wipe your nails to ensure your nails are free from oil, dust and dirt

Step 3 : Use Glowtips Base Coat 

  • Apply a thin layer of Glowtips Base Coat onto your natural nails (the growth gap) and across the whole nail (including Poly Nail Gel parts!)

Step 4 : Cure Under Nail Lamp

  • UV Lamp : 120 sec

  • LED Lamp : 60 secs

  • Optional : Wipe off the sticky residue after curing with alcohol or nail cleanser 

Step 5 : Apply Poly Nail Gel to Infill

  • Squeeze a pea size of Glowtips Poly Nail Gel using the Glowtips Spatula and apply it near to your cuticle

  • Soak your brush with Glowtips Slip Solution and gently mould the Poly Nail Gel around the cuticle area to fill the gap

  • Blend the Poly Nail Gel with the existing Poly Nail Gel so there are no uneven lumps!

Step 6 : Cure Under Nail Lamp

  • UV Lamp : 120 sec

  • LED Lamp : 60 secs

  • Wipe off the sticky residue after curing with alcohol or nail cleanser 

Step 7 : File and Buff

  • File your nails into the desired shape and length

  • File the surface to make sure your nails are smooth and even

  • Buff your nails to make the surface smoother and less sharp

Step 8 : Cleanse Nails

  • Wash hands with soap and water to remove oil, dust and dirt

  • Wipe nail surface dry with alcohol or nail cleanser

Step 9 : Apply Gel Colour

  • Apply Gel Colour and Cure

Step 10 : Seal with Top Coat

  • Finally, paint layer of Top Coat of cure one last time
