How to use
How to get the cleanest Duragel Step 1 finish
- Prepare the nail plate carefully and remove oil, dust, and loose cuticle residue.
- Apply Duragel Step 1 in thin controlled layers, keeping the cuticle margin clean.
- Cure the base fully before moving into colour, builder, or top-coat steps.
- If the formula supports structure, keep the layer controlled and do not overload the nail.
Curing info
Use the right cure and finish workflow
Cure each base layer fully in a professional UV/LED lamp before colour or builder steps so adhesion and retention stay consistent.
- Keep prep controlled and even before any base application so adhesion stays more reliable across clients.
- Use the right base type depending on whether you need simple adhesion, stronger bond support, or more builder-style structure.
- Cure every base layer properly before adding colour or structure so the full service stays cleaner and more durable.
