Nail Art Foils
1. Apply Clear Gel and cure for 2 minutes.
2. Apply 2 layers of Colour Gel, curing between each layer. Experienced
nail technicians can go directly to foil application.
3. Apply 1 thin layer of Sealer Gel and cure for 2 minutes. If you cure too
short the gel will be too sticky and the foil won’t stick. If you cure too
long the gel will not be sticky enough and the foil will lift off.
4. Cut transfer foil to desired length and press on top onto the sticky surface of the cured gel.
5. Gently peel back clear acetate backing leaving the pattern on the nail. If
you make a mistake wipe off with Dual Cleanser or Sanitizer, reapply thin
layer of Sealer Gel, cure for 2 minutes and then reapply foil.
6. Apply a layer of Sealer Gel over the foil art and cure. You can move directly onto the UV Gel if the foil is well patted on the sticky gel.
7. Finish with UV Gel.
You and your brushes
It is vital that you have enough
brushes to work with and that you take
care of them properly. We ideally
recommend you have the following
brushes so that there is no cross contamination:
Helpful hint: Transfer foil may be used to cover entire nail or only portions.
When covering entire nail it is not necessary to apply colour gel first.
Clear/Sculpting Gel
Dark Colours
Light Colours
French White
S Gel
Flexi Gel
UV Gel
Free Edge Gel (if you do Sculptures).
It is important that you do not mix
your brushes for:
S Gel - Flexi Gel UV Gel - Free Edge Gel
If old gel is left in the brush it will
alter the way your gel goes on the
nail.
Silver &
Top: Aztec Gold, Aqua AB, Fiber Optics, Gold Dots,
Imperial Iris
And there’s more...
Heated Mittens - ideal for keeping the hands warm during soak off.
Just remove the bean bag, heat in microwave and replace in the separate pouch
within the glove, to keep clients hands warm and speed up soaking off.
Tootisies - perfect to wrap in between toes for pedicures. Softer than regular
toe separators.
To clean your brushes:
In between clients: Dual Cleanse
End of day: Gel Remover followed by
Dual Cleanse.
Remember to Dual Cleanse your
brushes again the next morning before
you start clients.

Bio Sculpture vs Hybrid Polishes
Many years ago, Bio Sculpture developed the concept of a
hybrid gel polish, but found after extensive trials and research that this new concept would go against Bio Sculpture
ethics – to offer healthy nail care worldwide. In order for
this new concept to work, the Gel needed to be of a much
thinner consistency, therefore compromising the strength
and protection our Gel currently offers. It also required the addition of strong chemicals to the base (primers), which ultimately lead to the problem of white burn marks
and dehydrated nail beds.
At Bio Sculpture we are very proud of our unique, acrylic free formulation that has
seen clients maintaining healthy nails for over 25 years, whilst still being able to wear
a nail enhancement or a thin, non chip manicure. Over the past 25 years Bio Sculpture
has invested heavily in research and development, focusing on perfecting and improving the Bio Sculpture nail system. Now after 25 years we are confident that whatever
the nail type or the condition of the natural nail, Bio Sculpture can offer the perfect
gel treatment, catering to every client. Bio Sculpture allows Therapists to create and
offer a full range of nail services from tailor made gel sculptures (for those looking to
lengthen the nails naturally), shape problem nails, repair broken nails, offer nail art
and add strength to nails - something these hybrids cannot offer.
Since entering the Japanese market 6 years ago, Bio Sculpture have been awarded the
#1 selling Gel for both Clear & Colour gel, for 5 years running. Health & safety are a
big focus for Bio Sculpture, the only nail product to receive a 5 star safety rating for
efficacy & tolerability.
Bio Sculpture’s comprehensive Product Training and technical support is how we maintain a high level of workmanship in the industry and also a way we support our valued
customers. Constant improvement of our products, through research and development,
is why we remain Leaders in the nail care industry.
