Dual Form Stiletto - 120 pcs

The Dual Forms by Cactus are an alternative to the classic Nail Forms, which allows you to create the entire structure immediately of the nail to be reconstructed.

Thanks to the Dual Forms you can create any natural form from the salon, but also extreme forms thanks to the wide choice that our collection offers.

The Dual Form Cactus are transparent, with guidelines specially designed to facilitate the application of the product inside, immediately achieving the desired shape.

They were designed to be very flexible but at the same time resistant, a feature that allows you to save time when choosing the size and helps to minimize the risk of creating steps in the cuticle area.

Each nail type has a Dual shape that perfectly suits it. In fact, you need to choose the Dual based on the shape of the nail plate you're working on:

With a single type of Dual Form it is possible (in most cases) to create different shapes during reconstruction.

You can find examples of shapes that can be created in the second slide of product photos.

To choose the right Dual for each finger, you need to position the tip on the nail and make sure that match the growth points perfectly on the sides of the nail plate. The Dual should "hug" the nail, without applying pressure, perfectly covering the entire surface.

Everything is fine measure is described in the product images.

DUAL FORM APPLICATION

• Remove any old product.
• To make opaque Carefully file the entire surface of the nail plate with a 180-grit file or buffer. Avoid leaving shiny areas because the product will not adhere properly.
• Clean and degrease nails with Nail Prep Cactus, wait 30 seconds for the product to evaporate completely.
• Apply Bonder Scotch Apply a thin layer, massaging it into the entire nail plate. Wait 1 minute for it to air dry completely.
• Apply base Step One Apply a thin layer, massaging the nail while avoiding touching the skin. Be careful to cover the entire nail surface thoroughly. Cure. (Be careful because if the base coat doesn't cover the nail plate well, the gel may not adhere properly.)
• Choosing the right one Dual Form measurement for each finger (see description)
• Apply the chosen product (Gel or Acrygel) in the Dual immediately creating the desired shape. In case, especially - but not only - of self-leveling Gel such as the Mousse or the Sorbetto, particular attention must be paid to the thickness of the sides, so as not to leave them too thin.
• Blend the product in the cuticle area so that towards the end the quantity is practically zero.
• Maintaining an inclination of 45°, place the Dual on the cuticle area, while maintaining a distance of 2mm from the same.
• Once you are sure that the Dual is straight, lower and reduce the inclination while maintaining pressure in the cuticle fold, until the Dual's sides are parallel to the finger (It should not go up or down, as this would risk creating an incorrect shape which could then lead to cracks and breakages)
• Use the lamp UV by placing it only near the cuticle line and polymerizing for 10 seconds.
• Turn your finger over and remove any excess product or smooth it out with a brush.
• Once the structure is leveled, polymerizes in the lamp for 1 minute. If you wish, to pinch the shape by placing the clamp over the Dual, after 15 seconds of polymerization.
• Remove the Dual by applying light pressure with your fingers on both sides, starting from the growth points and working your way towards the tip.
• Give the desired shape with the file, pass the cutter along the lower part of the nail to remove excess product and finish any steps, if present, with the Carbide finishing tip “Blue Finish d0215”.
• Apply color in two thin coats, if desired, and then seal with the Top Coat Reflex no Wipe.
