Le Mini Lamp Extension for Gel Nail Tips: this lamp is exclusively available online and is a must-have for salon-quality gel nail tips at home.

Step 1: SELECT YOUR LE GEL TIPS AND ADJUST THE LAMP

Set up all of your supplies. Choose the appropriate size Le Gel Tips for each of your natural nails. Make sure it covers the entire nail without any overhang. If you are between sizes, opt for the bigger size, then file to shape your nail bed once applied. Lay out the Le Gel Tips in the order you plan to apply them for easy access during the application process. Next, adjust the mini LED lamp by flipping the top around it or remove the tray for the maxi LED lamp to create more space for flash curing.

Pro tip: Remember to check each nail as nail sizes can vary between hands.

Step 2: PREP YOUR NAILS

For best results, trim your nails as short as possible. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles or cut your cuticles with a cuticle trimmer. Lightly buff the surface of your nails to remove any shine and create a slightly rough texture for better adhesion. Use Nail Cleanser Prep Pads to clean the dust and oil off your nails. 

Step 3: APPLY LE GEL TIPS

Apply a thin layer of nail glue on the underside matte area of Le Gel Tip. Then, apply a second, slightly thicker layer of glue to the bottom half of the nail bed. Place the nail tip on your natural nail at a 45-degree angle. Start from the cuticle and gently press the tip down against your nail until it is completely covering the natural nail. 

Pro tip: Do this step slowly and ensure that there are no air bubbles trapped underneath. If you do get air bubbles, remove the tip and start the process over with a new nail tip. 

Step 4: CURE THE LE GEL TIPS

Once Le Gel Tips has been secured, immediately flash cure the nail for 5 to 10 seconds with the LED lamp. Release the nail tip and cure it for the full 30 seconds under Le Mini Macaron LED lamp or 60 seconds under Le Maxi Macaron LED lamp.

Repeat this process for each nail, working one nail at a time to ensure precision and accuracy.

Pro tip: You may experience a light, burning sensation when curing. That is normal. Flash-curing the nail about 3-4 inches from the LED light will help. 

Step 5: SHAPE AND FILE

After applying and curing each nail, use a nail clipper and file to trim and shape the Le Gel Tips tips to your desired length and shape. Use a coarser file like Le Zebra and take your time to achieve the perfect shape and smooth out any rough edges for a flawless finish. 

Pro tip: We recommend filing and shaping the nail after application as it is easier to apply the nail when it is longer. 

Step 6: PAINT

Lightly buff the surface of the nails to remove all the shine. This step is very important and should not be skipped. Buffing will create a rough surface that helps the gel polish to better adhere to the nail. Wipe your nails clean with a prep pad to remove excess dust and oils. Paint your nails with your favorite Le Mini Macaron shade and cure as directed. 

Removal Instructions

Step 1:

Use nail clippers or manicure scissors to trim down the tips of the gel nail extensions.  Use a coarse nail file like Le Zebra to break the seal of the polish on the surface of Le Gel Tips. This will allow the acetone to penetrate more effectively. Use the file to buff away as much gel polish as possible. 

Step 2:

Soak a cotton ball or pad in acetone and place it directly on top of each Le Gel Tip. Wrap each fingertip with aluminum foil to hold the cotton ball or pad in place and create a barrier to lock the acetone. Or you can use our Gel Polish Remover Wraps which are pre-soaked with acetone for easy removal.  Try our Remover Clips for an air-tight seal. Allow your nails to soak in the acetone for 10-15 minutes to soften the nail glue.

Step 3:

After soaking, gently press down on the foil-wrapped cotton ball or pad and twist to loosen and remove the nail tip. Use a cuticle stick or our Gel Polish Remover Tool to gently lift off any remaining residue from your natural nails. Be patient and avoid forcing or prying the Le Gel Tips off, as this can damage your natural nails.

Step 4: 

Once all nails are removed, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove any remaining acetone residue. Apply cuticle oil to nourish and hydrate your nails and cuticles.

We recommend taking a two-week break between applications and allowing your natural nails to breathe and recover.
