LUNAmoon. Mousse Gel #06, 30 ml, thick gel for extension, with shimmer

Mousse lab collection by Lora Sheiderova
Mousse gel 01-06

Mousse gel — sculpting gel with a thick cream texture, created in collaboration Lora Sheiderova × LUNAmoon. The material plastically stretches behind the brush, while holding its shape well and not spreading during work. Thanks to minimal thixotropy, the gel is convenient to lay out in upper forms: it stays in place and provides enough time for precise sculpting without haste. The dense controlled consistency allows working with several forms at once, without worrying that the material will run or lose the desired architecture. Delicate glitter adds a special effect to the coating, creating a soft glow in the light, similar to the effect of a light rubbing.

Features:

• It has a very thick and viscous consistency, thanks to which the material does not spread and allows you to work calmly with the shape.
• It practically does not self-level, so the gel can be precisely placed with a brush and control each sculpting stage.
• It has high strength after polymerization and retains the built nail architecture well.
• In its properties, the material is close to hard, so during sculpting it is important to control the coating thickness, especially in the cuticle area.
• It has moderate flexibility in 1 mm thickness, thanks to which it remains maximally stable and holds a good arch.
• Suitable for nail extensions and sculpting.
• Requires a Rubber Base underlayer.
• UV/LED lamp power: 36-48W.
• Acceptable coating thickness: 0.5 mm at the free edge / 1 mm at the apex.
• Full polymerization: 120 seconds.

Application method:

REINFORCEMENT

1. Removal.
2. Do not file the nail shape or leave 2 mm of length, which will be removed after leveling.
3. Using a 220 grit file, file without strong pressure on the nail from above, lifting the nail plate scales, or use a 100 grit buffer.
4. Perform a manicure.
5. If working with removers, wash hands with soap after handling them.
6. Degrease the nail with Nail Prep LUNAmoon. Do two passes. Use 4 wipes for this (1 wipe per 5 fingers). First pass: wipe the nail surface. Second pass: take an orange stick, place a wipe on it, and wipe everything in the cuticle area and sidewalls.
7. Use primer as desired, but if the underlayer base has sufficient acidity, it is not needed.
8. It is best to apply the Rubber Base LUNAmoon underlayer with a flat gel brush. Movements should be rubbing. Paint all nail sidewalls and cure in the lamp for 60 seconds.
9. Wipe off the tacky layer.
10. Level the nail plate with the gel, leaving a 0.5-1 mm gap from the cuticle. Do not create excessive thickness in the cuticle area: the material is close to hard, so on the soft and flexible part of the nail plate, excess material may cause lifting. Cure in the lamp for 60 seconds.
11. We file the shape after we have evened it out. This is needed to create thickness on the edge of the nail that will hold the free edge.
12. If the nail was thin, it may curl, so we must file 1 mm of the natural nail from the inside. This way, there will be no material lifting. If the material is hard and the nail is very soft, the nail itself will start to separate from the hard material at the free edge.
13. After filing, we wipe off the tackiness and apply color.
14. Apply top coat. Cure for 120 seconds. After curing, do not wipe with anything as the shine may be lost.

CLASSIC EXTENSION

1. Removal.
2. Shorten the nail length to 1 mm and create a round shape.
3. Using a 220 grit file, file gently on the top of the nail without pressure to lift the scales of the nail plate, or use a 100 grit buffer.
4. Perform a manicure.
5. If working with removers, wash hands with soap after handling them.
6. Degrease the nail using Nail Prep LUNAmoon. Do two passes. Use 4 wipes for this (1 wipe per 5 fingers). First pass: wipe the nail surface. Second pass: take an orange stick, wrap a wipe around it, and wipe everything in the cuticle area and sidewalls.
7. Use LUNAmoon primer.
8. It is best to apply a base layer of Rubber Base LUNAmoon with a flat gel brush. Use pressing motions. Outline all sidewalls of the nail and cure in lamp for 60 seconds.
9. Wipe off tackiness.
10. Place the extension form for the free edge of the nail.
11. Apply clear gel to shape the artificial nail. Cure for 30 seconds.
12. File the free edge and give the nail the desired shape.
13. Wipe off tackiness and excess dust.
14. Go over again with Rubber Base LUNAmoon on areas where the file was used. Cure for 30 seconds.
15. Perform gel sculpting, controlling material thickness and avoiding loading the cuticle area. Leave a small gap from the cuticle. Place in lamp and pinch the arch at approximately the 20th second of polymerization as the gel contains glitter. After pinching, fully cure the material in lamp.
16. Cure completely in lamp for 120 seconds.
17. Wipe off tackiness before applying color.
18. Apply top coat. Cure for 120 seconds. After curing, do not wipe with anything as the shine may be lost.
