Slider Design Application Instructions 1. Perform standard nail plate preparation: manicure, pedicure procedure. 2. Choose a suitable design, cut the image to shape, adjust it to the width of the nail, keeping in mind that the slider should be slightly narrower (approximately 0.5-1mm, as the slider will need to be well sealed under the top coat). 3. Apply a base coat, cure in a lamp. Then apply 1-2 layers of white background gel polish, stepping back 1mm from the cuticle line and side walls, curing each layer. 4. Apply a thin layer of top coat, cure. 5. Place the slider on a napkin moistened with warm, slightly hot (not cold!) water for approximately 15-20 seconds. Bring it to the nail, and using a sliding motion, slide the film from the paper backing by 1/3, pressing the film at the base of the cuticle, leaving a gap of 0.5-1mm at the cuticle line, then completely remove the backing. Smooth out the film, gently pulling it to avoid wrinkles. Carefully smooth the film, pushing out any remaining air and water with a soft napkin. Cure the nails with the slider in the lamp. 6. Using a fine-grit nail file, gently remove the film from the free edge of the nail with top-to-bottom motions. Treat the nail edge with a lint-free wipe moistened with a degreaser. 7. Cover with a top coat, thoroughly sealing the edges and film edges at the base of the cuticle and side walls in 2 layers, curing each layer of top coat in the lamp. Remove the tacky layer.
