WHAT IS GEL POLISH?

Sopolish lasts up to 21 days on hands and feet. Longer than regular nail polish, which many salon clients see as an advantage. Gel Polish is therefore also ideal for pedicures.

• Nail file - to file nails into shape and lightly roughen them
• Cuticle pusher - to push back cuticles
• Degreaser - Sopolish Cleanse : this degreases the nail and ensures better adhesion of the gel polish nails
• Base Coat - protects the nails and ensures a long-lasting result : 3 application methods possible which are explained below: Sopolish Easy Peel - Sopolish Easy Soak - Sopolish Structure Base
• Led Lamp - Smart Light to harden the gel polish
• Gel polish Colour - choose your favourite gel polish colour
• Top Coat - protects the gel polish nails from damage.

1. Mini manicure

You always start with a mini manicure. Begin by sanitising the hands, then file the nails into the desired shape and push back the cuticles. You can also perform a more extensive manicure with the Skincare Science products for hands before starting the application process.

2. Base coats

Sopolish Cleanse is the first step in the Sopolish application process. It is used to efficiently remove any oily residue from the nail plate before applying Sopolish Easy Peel, Easy Soak, or Structure Base.

How to choose the right gel polish base? We offer three types of bases:

• Does your client return regularly to your salon? Then the best option is Sopolish Easy Soak. It is also suitable for use on toenails and can be removed by soaking off (10 min).
• Is your client visiting just once? Then suggest Sopolish Easy Peel, which allows them to remove the polish themselves after two weeks by peeling it off (using the Polish Corrector Pen with Non-Acetone Remover).
• Does your client have challenging nails (e.g., spoon-shaped, brittle nails, or nails with deep ridges)? Choose Sopolish Structure Base. This base provides structure and even allows for small extensions of up to 2mm. You can remove this base using a combination of filing and soak-off (20 min).

3. Choosing a colour

Now comes the most enjoyable step of the application: letting your client choose their favourite colour. Sopolish gel polish is as easy to use as regular nail polish, cures under LED light, and lasts for approximately 14-21 days (21 days with Structure Base), without damaging the natural nail. It delivers stunning results thanks to its superior colour formula. Available in over 130 shades, ranging from timeless classics to the latest trends.

4. Finishing with your favourite top coat

Of course, you want the perfect shine on your nails. Achieve this by finishing with the Sopolish Gloss, which protects the colour and ensures beautifully shiny nails until your next manicure. We offer a variety of gloss options, including matte and shiny finishes, so there's something for everyone. Each semi-permanent top coat is cured under the Smart Light.

The removal method for this semi-permanent gel system depends on the base you use.

1. Easy Peel base

Your client can remove it themselves by peeling off the gel polish once nail regrowth is visible. You can use the Polish Corrector Pen to help lift the edges more easily.

2. Easy Soak base

Removal in 5-10 minutes in the salon using Sopolish Remove, Cotton Pads, and the Reusable Soak Off Clips.

3. Structure base

This base provides structure to the nail, making it ideal for clients with deeply ridged, bitten, or very brittle nails. It smooths the nail plate and even allows for small extensions of up to 2 mm. Removal is done through a combination of soaking off (10-20 min) and filing with your e-file device.

Please show in your salon that you offer this nail service. Your clients will be more likely to ask about it when they come for a deluxe manicure or pedicure, for example!
