Natural Tip - Light Elegance
Description and Recommended Uses:
Natural Tip is a nice, attractive, soft white gel for creating natural looking tips. The Natural Tip can be formed into a tip, put on a "glue-on" tip, or over existing product such as Builder, Reconstructor, acrylic or fiberglass. 
Recommended uses for Natural Tip are:
· American manicures
· A natural manicure

Application:
Cleanse, file and prep the nail tip to apply the product. Cleanse the tip of the nail unless you are applying over a glue-on tip. Do not cleanse a glue-on tip. The Cleanser will dissolve the plastic of the tip and create lifting - in this case, dust the tip with a dry cleansing pad. Apply a thin coat of Natural Tip to the free-edge of the nail or over a form. Do not apply the Natural Tip too thickly, this can cause lifting that is a result of uncured product. Clean the smile-line with an orangewood stick or brush. Cure the hand in the light, remove and proceed to the next step.

Hints & Trouble Shooting:
Natural Tip will lift from the free-edge if the nail is not roughed-up properly. Use a 100 to 180 grit file to prepare the nail sufficiently for the Natural Tip. Not sufficiently removing the shine from the nail plate, or touching the sidewalk with the product causes lifting. Applying the Natural Tip too thick can lead to lifting problems at the free-edge or sidewall because of insufficient curing. This is best avoided by starting out applying thin amounts to the nail, and as you become accustomed to the Natural Tip, applying thicker amounts that are more desirable. 

Storage:
Avoid exposure to all UV light sources (including but not limited to sunlight, UV light from curing lamps, and "full spectrum lamps" such as Ott lights), inert gases and flame.
