- A rigid nail forms, making it easier and more stable to work with the mass,
- Also allows long extensions to be obtained
- Includes a foot for stabilizing the forms
- Strong glue for perfect tunneling and bending
- The glue does not deteriorate even if the nail form is repeatedly touched,
- Additional auxiliary lines to make working and adjusting the form easier:
- White lines, long: used to model the shape, to build a square
- White lines, semicircular: helps when building an oval shape
- Lines by the numbers on the nail forms: helps to build the perfect almond
- Black lines: indicate how the forms is laid relative to the axis of the finger - especially helpful with nails growing up/down
- Yellow lines: are used to make the form flatter - useful for difficult, awkward nail shapes
- Green lines: used to deepen the form, with nails having deeper growth points or, for example, overgrown hyponychium
- Red lines: help to release the lateral periungual shafts, cutting out the so-called ‘devils’; the length of the lines has been taken into account to the actual need to cut them, in order to properly release the shafts
- Violet lines: the ideal aid for building edge or russian almond shapes, the side lines of this line are bevelled at a 45 degree angle, which helps to create the right shape instantly
- The nail forms are the ideal working tool for beginners as well as experienced stylists
- Indigo by Joanna Bandurska nail forms improve the speed of work.
- Prepare the natural nail plate for styling - matt and work out the cuticles.
- Position the nail form so that it fits perfectly under the nail. If necessary, trim the form on the edges, based on the indications of the line color:
- Black lines: indicate how the mold is supported relative to the axis of the finger
- Yellow lines: are used to give the mold a flatter shape
- Green lines: are used to deepen the form, with nails having deeper growth points or, for example, overgrown hyponychium;
- Red lines: help to release the lateral peri-nail shafts, cutting out the so-called ‘devils’; the length of the lines has been taken into account to the actual need to cut them to properly release the shafts;
- Apply the chosen product to the form, to build up the skeleton of the chosen shape.
- Make the extension with the chosen material and the appropriate method for it.
- If necessary, file out the shape with a 100/180 file.
- Smooth the surface of the built-up shape with a 100/180 or 180/220 grain polisher.
- Dust off the surface and wash with a Wipe Off Cleaner.
- Apply your chosen top coat and cure in the lamp.
- If the chosen top coat has left a tacky layer, remove it with Shea Super Shine Effect Cleaner.
PROTIP: for ease of working with the nail forms, the red lines - for the ‘devils’ can, when adjusted to suit, be cut out completely. When working on edge and russian almond shapes - for ease of working, the forms can be cut out along the purple line.
