Centre Guide Line: A Key Feature of the Long Almond Tips

The LuluNails Long Almond Soft Gel Tips feature a centre line that serves as a visual guide during application.

With Long Almond tips, alignment is important, as even a slight deviation can make the tip appear asymmetrical.

1. Making centring easier

The centre line allows you to compare the orientation of the tip with the axis of the natural nail.

2. Checking the symmetry of the almond shape

A harmonious almond shape should have sides that taper gradually and are well-balanced.

The guide helps to check this symmetry before fixing the tip in place.

3. Minimising positioning errors

A capsule oriented to the right or left can be spotted more easily before curing.

4. Supporting the learning of the American placement technique

The centre line provides a useful visual aid for those wishing to improve their accuracy.

5. Facilitating the professional’s assessment<

Nail technicians can use the guide to check the positioning of the tip before securing it permanently.

LuluNails tip: the central guide alone does not guarantee correct application. You must always check the width, curvature and natural axis of the nail.

How to apply LuluNails Long Almond American tips using the LuluNails Base Coat Expert?

To achieve an American-style, the Long Almond tips are attached using the LuluNails Expert UV/LED Base Coat, following the protocol specified for the system.

This method uses a product that cures under a UV/LED lamp and should not be confused with conventional air-drying nail glue.

Equipment required for application

• LuluNails Long Almond American tips.

• LuluNails Expert UV/LED Base Coat.

• Professional nail file.

• Nail buffer.

• Dust brush.

• Suitable cleaner.

• Nail Prep or Primer if specified in the protocol.

• Compatible UV/LED lamp.

• LuluNails semi-permanent nail polish.

• LuluNails Top Coat.

Step 1 – Prepare the natural nails

Start by inspecting and cleaning the natural nails.

Gently push back the cuticles and remove any residue from the nail plate.

Prepare the surface according to the bonding system’s recommendations, taking care not to file excessively.

Carefully remove any dust.

Proper preparation ensures even contact between the natural nail, the Base Coat Expert and the American-style tip.

Do not apply the product to a nail that is damaged, irritated or suspected of having an infection.

Step 2 – Choose the right size Long Almond tip

The LuluNails box contains 15 sizes, numbered from 0 to 14.

Before applying the adhesive, try each tip on your natural nail.

Check the following points:

• The tip covers the width of the nail properly.

• Its curve matches that of the natural nail.

• The sides are not compressed.

• The tip can be positioned without excessive pressure.

• Its tip is aligned with the finger.

Do not force a tip that is too small. Comfort and fit are essential.

ÉStep 3 – Check alignment with the central guide

Position the tip on the nail without Base Coat Expert.

Look at the central guide line and compare its orientation with the natural axis of the finger.

Check both sides of the almond shape.

The rounded tip must be balanced, without veering excessively to the left or right.

Adjust the positioning before securing it.

&Step 4 – Prepare the inside of the tip

Examine the inner surface where the adhesive will be applied.

Prepare this area in accordance with the instructions for the relevant LuluNails product.

The preparation of the interior depends on the material and finish of the tips. Do not file systematically without checking the applicable protocol.

Step 5 – Attach the Long Almond Tips with LuluNails Expert Base Coat

Apply the LuluNails Expert UV/LED Base Coat in accordance with the instructions for use.

Use an appropriate amountto ensure even contact between the natural nail and the tip.

Gradually position the tip to distribute the product and minimise the formation of air bubbles.

Before curing, check:

• That there are no air bubbles.

• That the Base Coat Expert is evenly distributed.

• That it is aligned with the central guide.

• That the nail bed is correctly positioned.

• That the tip is stable.

• That there is no product on the cuticles or skin.

Remove any uncured excess product from the skin before curing under the lamp.

ÉStep 6 – Cure under a UV/LED lamp

Hold the tip correctly during curing.

Use a UV/LED lamp compatible with LuluNails Base Coat Expert.

Follow the curing time and conditions specified for the product.

The Base Coat Expert must be fully cured before applying the top coats.

Do not use an arbitrary curing time: the lamp must be compatible with the product.

Step 7 – Apply the Long Almond finish

Once fully cured, prepare the outer surface of the nail tip according to the finishing protocol.

Personalise your manicure with compatible LuluNails products:

• GelColor Semi-Permanent Nail Polish 10 ml.

• LuluNails Gel Polish 7 ml.

• Pat Pat Gel for Baby Boomer and Ombré effects.

• Glossy Top Coat.

• Matte Top Coat.

Follow the curing instructions for each product used.

Baby Boomer Almond

Nude Almond Nails

Choose colours such as Nude Beige, Nude Pink, Nude Caramel or Milky Pink.

These shades highlight the natural, elongated shape of the nail tips.

Burgundy and Elegant Red Nails

Red, burgundy or chocolate semi-permanent polishes create a sophisticated look on a Long Almond shape.

Long Almond, Coffin or Stiletto tips: What’s the difference?

These three shapes all have an elongated silhouette, but their tips are different.

• Soft, rounded tip.

• Elegant silhouette.

• Suitable for French manicures, nude nails and Baby Boomers.

Long Coffin – Long Ballerina

• Tapered sides.

• Straight tip.

• Structured shape.

• Suitable for Ballerina manicures and nail art.

Stiletto – Pointed Shape

• Distinctly pointed tip.

• A more dramatic silhouette.

• Suitable for artistic designs and original styles.

LuluNails Long Almond tips are an interesting choice for clients looking for a long extension, but with a softer tip than that of the Stiletto.

How to Avoid a Misaligned Long Almond Shape?

On a Long Almond tip, incorrect positioning can visually alter the symmetry of the extension.

To achieve a harmonious fit:

1. Choose a size suited to the width and curve of the nail.

2. Observe the natural axis of the finger.

3. Use the central guide line as a reference point.

4. Check that both sides of the almond shape are balanced.

5. Gradually position the tip using the Base Coat Expert.

6. Check for any air bubbles before curing.

7. Follow the UV/LED instructions carefully.

Careful preparation and proper application help to minimise the risk of the tip coming away.
