    Step By Step Guide

    Rubber Base Coat

    STEP 1. PREP & PRIME

    File your nails to shape and use a Mylee Buffing Block* to gently remove shine from the nail plate. This creates the ideal surface for better adhesion. Push back cuticles for a clean edge, then cleanse nails with Mylee 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe* on a Lint Free Wipe* to remove oils and residue.  If you’re prone to lifting, apply the Mylee Dehydrator* followed by the Mylee Acid-Free Primer*.

    STEP 2. RUBBER BASE COAT
    Apply a thin, even layer of Mylee Rubber Base Coat and cure for 60 seconds using an Mylee LED lamp*. This flexible base bends naturally with your nails, preventing chips and cracks while providing extra reinforcement for soft or bendy nails. 

    STEP 3. COLOUR
    Brush on your favourite Mylee Gel Polish* shade and cure for 60 seconds. Build up the opacity in thin coats, curing each layer for a smooth, even finish. Don’t forget to cap the free edge by running some polish along the tip of your nail.

    STEP 4. TOP COAT & FINISH
    Seal the deal with a Mylee Top Coat* and cure for 60 seconds. If using a regular Top Coat, remove the tacky layer with Mylee 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe* on a Lint-Free Wipe*. Alternatively, use a Mylee No-Wipe Top Coat* and skip this step. Wash your hands, apply Mylee Nail & Cuticle Oil*, moisturise, and enjoy salon-quality nails for up to 3 weeks.
