Pink - Light Elegance
Description and Recommended Uses:
The Pink is a translucent pink that cures to a beautiful natural looking pink. It can be applied over a natural nail, over other enhancements, over Light Elegance or used to soften the look of our French Tip or Natural Tip. It can also be used in conjunction with our 1-Step to reduce the pink effect if that is what is desired. The Pink is used like the 1-Step or Reconstructor.
Recommended uses:
· Pink and White sets
· Hide or cover blemishes in the nail
· Create a more pink nail bed

Application:
Cleanse, file and prep the natural nail and existing product, making sure to remove all of the shine. Cleanse the nail again. Apply a BB size amount of Pink to the base of the existing product. Push desired amount of product towards the area that you are filling, making sure not to touch the cuticle area or the sidewalls. If this happens, remove product from these areas prior to curing process. Pull the remaining product out to the end of the free-edge in a thin smooth layer. When satisfied with the way the nails look, place hand in the light and cure. When curing process is complete, cleanse the nails to remove the remaining sticky residue. The nails should look glossy and beautiful, and the nail is complete. Shape and file the nail if you desire. After filing and shaping, cleanse the nail and apply the Finisher. Cure the nails in the light. After curing, cleanse, and your nails should be glossy and beautiful.

Hints:
Pink is typically used to add color but not mask or completely hide discoloration in the nail. Pink is often used with Ultra-White or French Tip. Pink 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 Pink. Not removing the pterigyum from the nail plate, not sufficiently removing the shine from the nail plate, or touching the cuticle or sidewall with the product causes lifting of the Pink near the cuticle. 


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.
