Pre-Installation Checklist for a Flawless Start
Before you open your kit, set up a clean workspace and confirm you have the essentials: a compatible base system, a lint-free wipe, cleanser, and proper tools for shaping and buffing. Inspect the surface of the nails and remove any shine so the adhesion can start strong. Push back cuticles gently, file the Dark Pro Base free edge for smooth coverage, and wipe off dust thoroughly. If you’re working with dehydrated or previously prepped nails, follow your standard compatibility steps to avoid lifting. The goal is a uniform, well-prepared nail plate—this is the foundation for a smooth application and durable wear.
Application Checklist for Even Coverage
Follow a controlled workflow to keep the layer thin and consistent. Apply a minimal amount, then spread it to fully cover the nail without flooding the cuticle line or sidewalls. Use a careful “center-first” technique and lightly guide product outward to maintain an even thickness. Cure according to your equipment and product Kodi Base guidance for reliable polymerization. After curing, check for any uneven edges and correct them with gentle filing. Wipe away residue and confirm the surface feels smooth to the touch before moving on. This step-by-step approach helps support strong adhesion and a professional-looking finish.
Durability Checklist for Strong Adhesion and Long Wear
To maximize longevity, refine your prep and finishing habits. Avoid over-buffing that can thin the nail plate, and ensure no dust remains after shaping. Apply the product in a way that respects the natural nail curvature, then cure thoroughly to lock in the structure. At the end, inspect the perimeter around the cuticle and sidewalls; any gaps can become lift points. Use a top coat system that matches the base for best compatibility, and educate clients or yourself on wear habits—gentle care and proper glove use during heavy-duty tasks can significantly reduce early wear and chipping.
