KB PROtect | Peel off Base Coat

KB PROtect acts like a base coat film adhesive sticker that can be used with any nail product forming a protective barrier between the product and the natural nail. These are perfect for practicing and to save constantly removing and for photoshoot work.

A safe alternative to peel off base coat, which can come into contact with the skin and prove tricky when removing.

KB PROtect Step by Step

• Buff the natural nail to remove the shine.
  
• Choose KB PROtect to fit the nail (always oversize and not undersize, you can trim this - if you undersize and leave natural nail on show, when you apply product, it will stick to the natural nail and you won’t be able to remove the KB PROtect).

  
• Peel the cardboard backing from the KB PROtect.
  
• Apply to buffed natural nail, covering all edges.

  
• Rub firmly from centre to one side, then to the other side. 

  
• Peel sticky firm plastic off (the previous step will loosen this).

  
• Use your finger or an orange wood stick to smooth out any bumps.
  
• Use a nail file or scissors to trim to the free edge. If the client has a very short free edge or extended hyponychium, tuck this under the free edge to prevent product seeping underneath and creating difficulty with removal.
  
• Apply form and enhancement or nail product as usual. 

  
• If creating an extension, remove form, file into shape (you can also do this off the nail if you prefer).
  
• Use an orange wood stick to slide under the KB PROtect so this slips off without damaging the natural nail.
  
• Use blue tac to adhere to orange wood stick, nail tip display etc and decorate with your choice of art if you wish to decorate off the nail.
  
• If reapplying for a photoshoot, apply a new wrap as above, adhere the enhancement to this new wrap with a bead of acrylic or quick drying nail glue.

  
• Slide off again as before and you can keep the nails to display.
