Once you've applied 2 coats of Fibre Gel and cured, DON'T wipe the dispersion layer, apply your Gel Polish to the sticky layer then cure and top coat as normal.

If the nails require shaping, remove the dispersion layer with Swipe, shape the nail as you like, remove any dust using Swipe again. Apply Protein Bond (no need for base coat) then your Gel Polish.

Transitioning from Acrylic to Fibre Gel 'Customer Story'

All my clients were pro Acrylic until Fibre Gel was introduced... Since then ALL my clients now have Fibre Gel instead of Acrylic, I can do 2 Fibre Gel sets in the time it takes me to do 1 acrylic set!

Transitioning from Acrylic to Gel Polish just wasn't an option for me as my clients needed strength. Once I had hold of Fibre Gel , it was the perfect opportunity to do this. Fibre Gel is more than strong enough to satisfy my clients. If an extension/repair is needed I tend to use the Pot as I have slight more control.
