This is a simple step by step........... always follow your system manuals!!!!!!!
Please take note that the Fabric# System application involves a 3 phase resin application........So applications for this will differ slightly............

Ok here is a simple step by step. This is for generic Fibreglass and Silk systems
Fabric# System application involves a 3 phase resin application........

1. Prep nail; remove all non living tissue.............. use cuticle remover, use a curette and cuticle pushy, pay special attention to the lateral walls and the cuticle area........... Rinse of the remover, dry...........

2. Remove shine with a 240 grit.......only in direction of nail growth.....and only go over once, twice removes keratin and can cause nail plate thinning.....

3. Scrubfresh to remove all pathogens and leave pathogen fighting agents on the nail...

4. One thin layer of resin.........let it air dry

5. If you are not tipping the nail go to step 7

6. Apply tips and blend......

7. use a lint free plastic backed pad with a touch of scrubfresh and remove the dust particles, only on the nail and not the tip.............

8. Apply a thin layer of resin.........let it air dry

9. Apply fibre or silk strip and a stress strip if requiert....to apply the stress strip, check location of your stress area, press down on the free edge of the nail, the white pressure area is your stress area...appply a small strip to cover this.......sticky backed material makes it easier to place on the nail............ there is no advantage using the older method it is just a lot harder to do.......

To apply the silk or fibreglass, try not to touch the material with your fingers to often..............this causes: contamination and lack of adhesion............

· cut a strip fitting your chosen finger,

· cut of the corners on one end,

· peel off and place back on the left over backing strip

· Leaving a bit hanging over the edge so to speak...

· Place it on the nail and press the cuticle end down........

· now go to the free edge where your overhang is and pull just slightly downwards, this will bring in the sidewalls, smooth with the left over backing strip, gently does it....
Now you are ready to resin

1. Apply resin let this air dry

2. Apply resin and activate this

3. Tidy up sidewalls and file the free edge, lightly buff with a 240 going over the whole enhancement very lightly

4. Resin one more time activate and buff to finish, if you have a generic builder resin you can use this as your finishing layer of resin.
Apply and brush out over the whole enhancement with your builder resin brush on activator.

5. Solar oil

6. Polish

Tip: Avoid soft tissue contact with the resin as this will lead to lifting, for weaker nails also use a stress strip at the stress area this will reinforce your apex area ............
