5D Non Magnet Finger Rest - Pink

A finger rest: 5D Non Magnet Finger Rest - Pink. Not a magnet: a rest that holds the client's finger level and still under the magnet and the lamp, so the line does not shift while the hand waits for the cure.

What it does

• A finger rest: not a magnet: a rest that holds the client's finger level and still under the magnet and the lamp, so the line does not shift while the hand waits for the cure.
• Works with any cat eye gel: the gel carries the magnetic pigment; the magnet only decides the shape.
• Sold separately from the gel, as with every cat eye line we stock.

Specs

How to use it

1. Cure the first coat of cat eye gel without the magnet; that coat is the color bed.
2. Apply the second coat slightly fuller. Before it cures, hold the magnet a few millimeters above the wet gel (Lavis's pages say about 2 mm for three to five seconds) without touching it.
3. Hold it lengthwise for a straight streak, angled for a diagonal.
4. Cure that nail at once, one nail at a time; the pigment relaxes as soon as the magnet moves away. Full cure, then a glossy top.

Gels to use it with

• SNS Cat Eye Gel: Crystal Twinkle and Diamond Twinkle, 24 shades each
• Lavis Cat Eye CE1 Cozy Cashmere: the first of the 12-shade Lavis drops
• Lavis CE18 Galactic Halo: the halo drop, made for ring magnets
• Cat Eye Magnets: every magnet and effect tool compared

Questions

Does this magnet work with SNS and Lavis cat eye gel? Yes. Every nail magnet works with every magnetic cat eye gel we sell; the shape of the effect is the only difference between magnets.

Why is my line faint or blurry? Timing and distance: cure the nail within a second or two of lifting the magnet, hold it close, and use a fuller second coat. A dark cured base underneath makes the line read stronger.

How do I store it? Away from the open bottles, because a magnet next to a cat eye gel pulls the pigment to one side of the glass, and apart from other magnets so they do not snap together and chip.
