Technical specifications

How do you apply a Long Square American-style manicure using LuluNails Expert Base Coat?

The American application technique involves bonding a full-coverage tip to the prepared natural nail.

For this LuluNails method, the tip is attached using the Expert UV/LED Base Coat rather than a simple air-drying adhesive.

Equipment required for application

• LuluNails Long Square American Tips

• LuluNails Expert UV/LED Base Coat

• Professional nail file

• Buffer

• Dust brush

• Suitable cleaner

• Nail Prep or Primer if required by the procedure

• Compatible UV/LED lamp

• LuluNails Semi-Permanent Nail Polish

• LuluNails Top Coat

Step 1 – Prepare the natural nails

Proper preparation is essential to ensure an even bond.

Gently push back the cuticles and prepare the natural nail surface in accordance with the system’s recommendations.

Remove any dust and residue.

Avoid filing the natural nail plate too much.

Work only on healthy, clean nails that show no signs of irritation.

Step 2 – Choosing the right size of Carré Long tip

LuluNails Soft Gel Tips are available in 12 sizes, numbered from 0 to 11.

Before applying, try each tip on.

Check that it covers the entire width of the natural nail properly without applying excessive pressure.

The tip must also fit the curve of the nail.

To achieve a harmonious square shape, check that the two sides are parallel and aligned with the finger.

Step 3 – Prepare the inner bonding surface

Check the inside of the tips where the adhesive will be applied.

On this model, a frosted-looking area is visible in the illustration.

Any preparation of this area must follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not assume that this automatically exempts you from any further preparation.

Step 4 – Secure the tips with LuluNails Expert Base Coat

Apply the LuluNails Expert UV/LED Base Coat in accordance with the application protocol.

Position the tip gradually so that the base coat is distributed evenly between the natural nail and the inside of the tip.

Take care to avoid:

• Air bubbles.

• Areas without product.

• Excess Base Coat Expert.

• Product spilling onto the cuticles.

• A cap applied at an angle.

Before curing, check that the cap is perfectly aligned.

Any uncured product on the skin must be removed before exposure to the lamp.

Step 5 – Cure under a UV/LED lamp

Ensure the tip is correctly positioned.

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

Follow the curing time and conditions specified for the product.

The base coat must be fully cured before applying any opaque top coat.

Do not select the curing time based solely on the wattage displayed on the lamp.

Step 6 – Apply the Carré Long finish

After curing, prepare the outer surface of the tip according to the finishing protocol.

Personalise your manicure with compatible LuluNails products:

• GelColor Semi-Permanent Nail Polish 10 ml.

• Gel Polish 7 ml.

• Glossy Top Coat.

• Matte Top Coat.

• Pat Pat Gel for ombre effects.

• Nail art accessories.

Then cure the UV/LED products according to the instructions.

Long Square or Coffin tips: what’s the difference?

Both the American Long Square and Coffin tips can be used to create full nail extensions, but their shapes are different.

• Square tip.

• Structured, geometric style.

• Suitable for neat French manicures and square-shaped manicures.

Coffin Capsules – Ballerina

How can you prevent lifting on a Long Square American-style manicure?

The durability of an American-style manicure depends on several factors.

Choosing the right size

A tip that is too small can put strain on the natural nail and cause it to lift.

Adjust the curvature

A tip that is too curved or too flat can create uneven contact with the nail.

Check the Base Coat Expert

The amount applied must be adjusted to minimise gaps and overspill.

Avoid air bubbles

Position the tip gradually and check the distribution of the product before curing.

Follow the UV/LED curing instructions

Use a compatible lamp and follow the Base Coat Expert instructions carefully.

Protect your natural nails

Avoid heavy knocks and never rip the tips off when removing them.
