How to Apply a Hard Gel Overlay on Natural Nails (Detailed):

1. Prep the Nail: Gently push back the cuticles, shape the free edge, and lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine. This creates a better surface for the gel to adhere to. Cleanse the nail thoroughly with a nail cleanser or dehydrator to remove any dust or oils. Apply a thin layer of nail primer to further enhance adhesion.
2. Base Gel Application: Apply a thin, even layer of base gel to the natural nail, avoiding the skin. Cure under a UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions. This provides a foundation for the hard gel overlay.
3. Hard Gel Application (with Large Oval Brush):
   • Loading the Brush: Dip your large oval brush into the hard gel and gently scoop out a small bead. Wipe off any excess gel on the side of the jar or a lint-free wipe, ensuring you have a manageable amount on your brush. The larger size of this brush allows you to pick up slightly more product than the smaller sizes.
   • Cuticle Application: Begin by placing the bead of gel near the cuticle area, but not touching the skin. Use the tip of the brush to gently guide the gel, creating a thin, even line along the cuticle edge. Angle the brush slightly to create a smooth transition between the natural nail and the gel.
   • Body of the Nail: Using the belly of the brush, gently float the gel towards the free edge. Apply light pressure and use smooth, sweeping strokes to create an even layer. The large oval shape makes quick work of covering the entire nail surface, especially on longer nails. Work in thin layers, rather than applying one thick layer, for better control and curing.
   • Apex Creation (Optional): For added strength and a more natural-looking nail, you can create an apex, the highest point of the nail, slightly off-center towards the back of the nail. Use the tip of your brush to carefully build up a small amount of gel in this area, blending it smoothly into the rest of the nail.
   • Side Walls: Pay attention to the side walls of the nail, ensuring the gel is applied evenly and doesn't pool or flood the cuticle. Use the tip of the brush to refine the gel along the side walls, creating a clean, crisp line.
4. Cure: Cure the hard gel under a UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cure each layer separately if you're building the apex.
5. Shaping and Refining: After curing, use a nail file or buffer to refine the shape of the nail and smooth any imperfections. Pay attention to the apex and side walls to ensure a smooth, even finish.
6. Top Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of top coat and cure under the lamp for a glossy, long-lasting finish.
