Natural Nail Preparation

Proper prep is essential for long-lasting adhesion and flawless results.

Pro Tip: When working on yourself, complete one hand fully before starting the other.

• Wash and thoroughly dry hands.
• Shape natural nails as desired.
• Gently push back cuticles using a cuticle pusher or birchwood stick.
• Lightly buff the nail surface with a 180-grit file or 150-grit buffer to remove shine.
• Clean nails using ASP 2-in-1 Dehydrator & Cleansing Wipe until the nail appears dull and chalky.
• Apply ASP Bonder or Primer to the natural nail.

Application with ASP Builder Gel + Dual Forms

Ideal for adding structure, strength, or minimal length.

• Complete natural nail preparation.
• Select the correct Dual Form size. Ensure sidewalls fit from edge to edge.

Pro Tip: Slightly larger is better than too small.

• Apply ASP Base Coat and cure for 30 seconds.
• Apply a thin layer of ASP Builder Gel to the natural nail. Avoid skin. Flash cure for 10 seconds. • Apply a small amount of Builder Gel inside the Dual Form, shaping to desired length and structure. Add extra product at the cuticle and apex.
• Place form at a 45-degree angle at the cuticle and gently press down to eliminate air bubbles. Clean excess product if needed.
• Flash cure for 10 seconds while holding the form in place. Repeat on remaining nails. Cure full hand for 60 seconds.
