Gel for building up Diamond Gel №5

The Classic Gel Diamond is a polymer light-curing material that, thanks to its strength, allows for significant nail plate extension. It contains photoinitiators that activate the polymerization process when exposed to ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength.

Features:

• Acid-free.
• Provides cushioning and does not crack upon impact.
• Medium consistency (not too thin and not too thick).
• Medium pigmentation, covers the free edge.
• Suitable for the "no-filing" technique.
• Suitable for extension using "upper forms".
• Doesn’t cause burning in the lamp.
• Becomes thicker in cold temperatures, thinner in warm temperatures. 
• Thixotropic - becomes thinner during application with brush movements. 
• Can be additionally heated to make the gel thinner. 
• Hardens up to a thickness of 1 mm; if the thickness is less than 1 mm, it may flex slightly, but this does not affect wearability. 
• Doesn’t shrink and holds the arch well. 
• Requires an underlay of Rubber Base LUNAmoon.

Application method:

STRENGTHENING:

1. Removal.
2. Don’t file the nail shape. Alternatively, leave spare 2 mm in length, which will be filed and removed after leveling.
3. Use a 220 grit file to gently file the nail from the top, lifting any nail plate flakes. Alternatively, use a 100 grit buffer.
4. Manicure.
5. If you use removers, wash your hands with soap and water after use.
6. Degrease the nail with Nail Prep LUNAmoon. Two approaches are needed. Use 4 wipes. One wipe for 5 fingers. The first approach - wipe the nail surface, the second approach - take an orangewood stick, wrap it with a wipe, and wipe everything in the cuticle area and in the nail folds.
7. Apply Ultrabond from LUNAmoon (optional). Before application, it's important to wipe the brush on a lint-free cloth to remove excess. Apply Ultrabond to all five fingers (free edge and side parallels) with a semi-dry brush. Wait for 1 minute for the bond to absorb into the nail.
8. Underlay with Rubber Base LUNAmoon. Best applied with a flat gel brush. Strokes should be rubbing. It is important to outline all nail recesses. Cure for 60 seconds.
9. Remove stickiness. Alignment. I want to emphasize that when leveling with gel, it's necessary to create a distance from the cuticle of 0.5-1 mm. Cure in the lamp for 60 seconds.
10. Buff the form after leveling. This is necessary to create thickness at the edge to support the free edge.
11. Dust off the forms after leveling. This is necessary in order to create a trickness at the end that will hold the free edge.
12. After filing, remove the tackiness.
13. Apply gel polish if needed.
14. Apply top coat and cure for 120 seconds. After curing, don’t wipe anything off, as it may dull the shine.

CLASSIC NAIL EXTENSION:

1. Removal.
2. Trim the nail length to 1 mm and shape into a round form.
3. Use a 220 grit file to gently file the nail from the top, lifting any nail plate flakes. Alternatively, use a 100 grit buffer.
