Professional Application – Strengthening

1. Prepare the natural nail (220-grit file or 100-grit buffer, light pressure).
2. Perform manicure. If removers were used, wash hands with soap.
3. Degrease using LUNAmoon Nail Prep (two-step method for maximum adhesion).
4. Apply primer if required (depending on base acidity).
5. Apply a thin rubbing layer of LUNAmoon Rubber Base. Cure 60 sec.
6. Remove dispersion layer.
7. Level with Shimmer Gel, keeping 0.5–1 mm away from cuticle. Cure 60 sec.
8. Refine shape if needed to create correct free edge thickness.
9. Remove stickiness, apply colour if desired and finish with top coat. Cure 120 sec.
10. Do not wipe after final curing to preserve maximum shine.

Tip: If working on very thin nails, trim 1 mm of the natural nail from the underside to prevent lifting.
