I thought the same as you- hardly want to be using a hair dryer for 5 mins! Unprofessional and clients don't have the time! Interested to see if this gets clarified for us![]()
Yep it definitely says in scratch mag that you heat for 5 mins with either a minx lamp or hair dryer then cure afterwards and wipe away any residue. Who's gonna want to sit there gore 5 mins blowing a hair dryer on the nails though?! Gonna look really naff!
IBX repair is the product that is used for delamination, splitting and peeling! Repair acts like sticky tape to hold the layers together, we apply IBX over top for the strength.So which would you use on nails prone to delamination? They sound pretty much the same thing really
The heat source is your choice, ideally a table lamp with a 75-100 watt bulb suffices, if you have the Minx heat that will work! the blow dryer is an alternative.Yep it definitely says in scratch mag that you heat for 5 mins with either a minx lamp or hair dryer then cure afterwards and wipe away any residue.

Remember you are only hewing parts of the application process, the FULL directions are in the box. It is only the first application that requires 5 minutes under the heat.IBX repair is the product that is used for delamination, splitting and peeling!

IBX is to be used before your smoothing gel applicator and gel polish.I may have missed if this has been clarified but I'll ask anyway.
With IBX, when providing a shellac service, will smoothing gel still be fine to add. I'll assume it is given IBX doesn't give the polish any support, certainly not in the beginning. Only the nail itself. Miracles don't happen overnight! Same question for sculpting gel (brisa lite).
Ideally this product will repair the natural nail to a position where hopefully smoothing gel won't be needed to give extra support or surface. Otherwise adding this price on top of smoothing prices on top a normal shellac may get pricey for clients.
Just my thoughts out loud.

Yes. IBX Repair will bond the delamination and the actual strength and protection comes from IBX.So you would use both one after the other for weak, peeling nails?

So, are we any clearer at all on whether you can use the CND lamp to dry the product, and if so, for how long??
Thank you. But does that mean you have to dry each application for 5 mins each? Thus have to dry them with the hairdryer for 10mins total?
