More info about this product

    Do not use Gel iQ:
    If you have ever experienced any reaction after use of UV/LED-cured nail products.

    If you are allergic to acrylates, as these products may cause an allergic reaction.

    If your cuticles are split or damaged, etc. or if your nails are in poor condition (thin, dry or split).

    If you bite your nails or have short nails, where the tip of your nail (the top) ends below the skin of your fingertips.

    Warning: Avoid skin contact. Read directions for use carefully. Keep out of reach of children. May cause allergic reaction. If any adverse reaction occurs, stop using the product. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Store locked up, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. The product is not intended for use by persons under 16 years old.

    Safety information:
    The product is not intended for use by persons under 16 years old. Keep out of reach of children.

    The product is not intended to be applied more than once every 14 days.

    Avoid contact with skin. If applied to nails, care should be taken to ensure application to the surface of the nail only and not surrounding skin or cuticles. If on skin or cuticles, remove the product carefully using Gel iQ Pre-Cleanser on a cotton bud. Once curing is complete, wash skin carefully with soap and water to remove any incidental contamination.

    Avoid contact with eyes. If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

    Always cure for 30 seconds between each coat using the UV/LED lamp. A shorter curing time will result in under-cured material and consequently an increased risk of allergy and a less durable finish.

If you experience a smarting pain, itching or swelling during the treatment, remove uncured material using a cotton wool pad moistened with Gel iQ Pre-Cleanser, and then wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. If the problems persist, contact a doctor for advice. If skin irritation or rash occurs after treatment: Get medical advice/attention.

    When applying products, always leave a decent safety margin around the cuticles.

    Safety Information

    The product is not intended for use by persons under 16 years old. May cause allergic reaction. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and skin. Rinse immediately with water if the product comes in contact with them. Stop using the product if redness or itching occur. If symptom persist, consult a doctor. Keep out of reach for children.

    Important
    NB! Gel iQ Gel Nail Strips are very sensitive to light. For that reason, when applying the strips, avoid taking an open pack outside or leaving it in direct sunlight indoors.

    Preparation

    Remove any old nail polish using remover that is free from acetone, oil, colour or perfume.

    File all your nails to the same length and gently push back your cuticles, if needed.

    Wash your hands thoroughly and dry them well.

    Choose a strip for each nail
    Hold the sheet of strips over your nails to choose the size that best fits each nail. Bend the sheet to see more easily which size fits best. It is important not to choose too large a strip that may end up outside your actual nail.

    Clean your nails
    Clean your nails with the cleansing wipes supplied.

    Apply the strip in 2 stages
    NB! Avoid touching the sticky surface that will attach to your nail.

    Use an orange stick to carefully lift the rear edge of the strip.

    Apply the strip close to the cuticle, but not on it, and press firmly. Press down along the centre of the nail first, and then out towards the sides to avoid air bubbles.

    Seal the strip
    Use the orange stick or your fingers to press along the edges and completely cover the nail with the strip. Trim the strip close to the tip of your natural nail.

    Cure
    Cure for 60 seconds using a Depend Gel iQ UV/LED lamp. (If the lamp is not set for 60S, you can change this by pressing and holding the start button until it resets to 60S.)
    NB! Optimal curing is achieved by holding the lamp 10 cm above your nails. This ensures optimal flexibility and durability.

    To finish
    Smooth the edge of your nail by filing it carefully. However, do not file the surface of the nail.

    Be sure to follow the steps below carefully to gently remove the strips and avoid damaging your nails and cuticles.

    Products to be used:

    Gel iQ Remover Oil

    Warm water (approx. 40°C)

    A bowl (approx. 2 litres) that can take your whole hand. Alternatively, you can use a washbasin.

    What to do

    Apply plenty of Remover Oil to the fingers of one hand, along the cuticle and over the whole nail. Massage the oil into each nail for about 20-30 seconds.

    Fill a bowl or washbasin with warm water (approx. 40°C). NB! The water should not be so hot that it is scalding.

    Lower your fingers into the warm water until they are all submerged. Wait for about 3 minutes. The warmer the water, without it being scalding, the better the effect.

    After about 3 minutes, you can carefully begin scraping away the strip from the area of new growth closest to your cuticle. Use an orange stick or one of your other nails. Keep your hand in the water as you do this.

    Scrape gently and allow the water to penetrate the join between the strip and your nail. This will gradually cause the strip to loosen and you can remove it like flaking paint. Be gentle, and loosen the strip little by little while keeping your fingers in the water. Take extra care at the tip of your nail where the nail is driest and can easily break. Be sure not to take off any of your own nail when scraping off the strip. The strip tends to be most firmly attached towards the tip of the nail.

    For best results, check the water temperature. Keep checking the temperature of the water during removal to ensure it stays around 40°C. You can either add more warm water or replace the cooled water with fresh warm water.
