Smart Form Form 120pcs

The Smart Forms by Cactus are an alternative to the classic Nail Forms, which allows you to create the skeleton right away of the nail to be reconstructed.

Thanks to Smart Forms you can create any shape of the skeleton and then continue with the curvature in the classic technique.

The Smart Form Cactus are transparent, with guidelines specially designed to facilitate the application of the product inside, immediately reaching 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.

Unlike Smart Forms, these tips can be used on any type of nail plate, regardless of curvature.

To choose the right Smart 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 Smart must “hug” the nail, without applying pressure, perfectly covering the entire surface.

Each size is described in the product images.

SMART FORM APPLICATION

• Remove any old product.
• To make opaque very carefully the entire surface of the nail plate with the 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 in a thin layer, massaging it all over the nail plate. Wait 1 minute for it to dry completely in the air.
• Apply base Step One in a thin layer, massaging the nail avoiding touching the skin. Be careful to cover the entire surface of the nail well. Polymerize. (Be careful because if you do not cover the nail plate well with the base, you risk the gel not adhering well)
• Choosing the right one Smart Form measurement for each finger (see description)
• Apply the chosen product (gel or acrylic gel) in the Smart immediately creating the desired shape. In case, especially - but not only - of self-leveling Gel such as the Mousse or the Sorbet, you need to pay particular attention to the thickness of the sides, so as not to leave them too thin.
• Blend the product in the part that will adhere to the nail, so that towards the end the quantity is practically zero.
• Maintaining an inclination of 45°, place the Smart Form in the “stress point” which is located approximately halfway along the nail bed.
• Once you are sure that the Smart Form is straight, lower and reduce the inclination while maintaining pressure at the stress point, until the sides of the Smart are parallel to the finger (it must not go up or down, as this would risk creating an incorrect shape which could then lead to cracks and breakages)
• Use the UV light bulb placing it just near the cuticle line and polymerizing for 10 seconds.
• Turn your finger over and remove any excess product or level it out with a brush.
• Once the structure is leveled, polymerize in the lamp for 1 minute.If you wish, to pinch the shape by placing the clamp over the Smart, after 15 seconds of polymerization.
• Remove the Smart by applying light pressure with your fingers on both sides, starting from the growth points and working your way to 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”.
• Create the curvature with the desired product. In case of long nails (free edge longer than the nail bed) it is recommended Sorbet Gel or the Gel Mousse, both suitable for the technique without filing. If your nails are shorter, you can use, in addition to the gels mentioned above, the Hard base which guarantees resistance.
• Apply color in two thin coats, if desired, and then seal with Reflex No Wipe Top Coat.
