Directions
Applying the IBX SYSTEM requires a heat source. We recommend one of these three options:
- A basic table lamp with a 75-100 watt bulb, held 6-8 inches away
- A nail polish dryer, set to warm
- A hair dryer on low heat setting
After you penetrate the product into the upper layers of the nail plate with gentle heat, the IBX SYSTEM will require curing with either an LED or UV style lamp. Cure time should be based on the lamp manufacturer’s suggested cure time for their gel polish colour coat.
Always start with a clean bare nail that has been filed and shaped. For Damaged delaminated nails or nails with visible white spots, buffing the surface smooth is not necessary and can cause thinning of the natural nail.
REPAIR APPLICATION
Use REPAIR on damaged nails, and only when needed. Do not buff peeling nails prior. Severe ridges and delamination use REPAIR twice.
REPAIR cannot be used alone, must be used with strengthen.
