      How to apply Light Elegance™ ButterCream color gels

      ButterCreams are color gels with a very high pigmentation. They are made to be applied in one layer only and to work super fast.

      ButterCream Gels

      You can refine their consistency from thick to thin by stirring them in the jar. Read below how to apply ButterCream color gels correctly for the perfect coverage.

      1. Prep cuticle and nail plate (or existing enhancement) using the Light Elegance nail prep method:
      + Cleanse the nail with LE Cleanser and a lint-free LE Cleansing Wipe.
      + Using a light touch and the LE Cuticle Pusher, loosen cuticle tissue from the nail plate, around the eponychium (or cuticle) and along the lateral folds (or sidewalls).
      + Continue by removing the shine from the natural nail and/or existing enhancement using the 100-grit side of the LE Perfect File and a light touch.
      + Remove dust with a LE Duster Brush and cleanse nail with LE Cleanser and Cleansing Wipe.

      2. Apply Tack, POWERBOND or Airbond as directed. This step is optional if applying over a roughed up existing enhancement but required if applying over any part of the natural nail.

      3. ButterCream can be applied over any hard gel or existing enhancement. Make sure to apply ButterCream over a well structured, smoothly buffed and shaped enhancement using any gel brush. Make sure to keep your application extremely thin.

      4. If desired, apply second thin coat of ButterCream for a bolder, brighter look.

      5. Apply Super Shiny or Top Gloss for perfect shine, or Flat Matte for a fun matte look, and cure as directed.

      6. Always finish with LE Cuticle Oil to keep cuticles looking gorgeous and healthy.

      Educator Tips & Tricks:
      + Keep it thin! ButterCream is opaque at a tiny thickness—take advantage for elegant, thin nails.
      + Get to know your ButterCream. You control the viscosity and will get the most out of the product after learning when and how to agitate the product. This will take practice.
