Reconstructor - Light Elegance
Description and Recommended Uses:
Reconstructor is a clear, self-leveling product that is not "runny". It is for performing fills and full-sets. It has been designed to adhere to the natural nail or other products such as Builder, Fiber, acrylic, fiberglass… Reconstructor is great for nail technicians who are new to gels. It is not as difficult to master as the 1-Step and as a result, Reconstructor is one of the first items a nail technician should reach for when doing a fill or full-set. If cracking is observed with Reconstructor, the nail technician should try the Fiber or Builder on the client. Reconstructor will not yellow and should be used sparingly on the nail.
Recommended uses:
· Fills and Full-Sets
· Repairs on cracks

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 Reconstructor 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 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. File and shape the nail to smooth out the appearance if you desire. After filing and shaping, apply the Finisher and cure in the light. After curing, cleanse, and your nails should be glossy and beautiful.

Hints & Trouble Shooting:
Reconstructor 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 Reconstructor. 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 Reconstructor 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.
