How To Apply GelXtend
Step 1
PREP
Remove any polish before beginning nail prep.
Trim and file nails (white side of file).
Wash hands and use prep pad to clean and dehydrate nail beds.
Push back cuticles using wooden manicure stick.
Lightly buff nail beds (pink side of file).
Step 2
SIZE & APPLY
Select nail tips for each nail. If in between sizes, size down or file a larger nail tip to fit.
Evenly spread a thin layer of soft gel glue to the bottom half of the pre-buffed (matte) section of the nail tip.
Apply nail tip from cuticle line to free edge to spread glue evenly, without releasing just yet.
If glue feels hardened in the tube or will not come out, put the cap back on and place it in a bowl of warm water for 2-3 minutes, until glue softens to a gel-like consistency.*
*When exposed to cold temperatures during shipping, glue may harden. Warm water will soften it back to its original consistency.
PRO TIP: If the glue does not fill the entire nail or if air bubbles have occurred, remove nail tip, apply more glue, and readjust before curing.
PRO TIP: If too much glue is used and floods onto cuticles or skin, wipe off glue before curing and re-apply.
Step 3
CURE
Keep pressure on the nail tip & cure under the GelXtend LED lamp for 60 seconds.*
To keep the light on, ensure your finger stays in contact with the sensor.
*Lamp will automatically turn off after 60 seconds.
PRO TIP: For sheer color and design nails, cure 2x for 60 seconds. For darker ombrés and french tips, cure a second time upside down for 60 seconds to ensure the light reaches the glue.
PRO TIP: Rotate the lamp as needed for an easier application process and tightly fasten the cap for the glue to prevent from drying out.

- Kerry h.Verified Reviewer2 days agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSingle-size recorders, please!
My index and ring fingers are the same size, which means I usually don't have enough of that size for more than a single application! I wish we could order just the sizes we need, maybe in packs of five or ten, to get full use of the starter kit. 60 nails sounds generous, but it includes sizes that do not fit (in my case, with my large nails, that's usually the smallest sizes) and I'd love to see packs of single sizes, to supplement what's left after the first application.

First, follow the instructions about where to apply the glue and how much to use. This took me a bit to figure out.
The starter kit includes a variety of sizes, so you’re sure to get a perfect fit. I love it that they’re pre-etched. Saves you a step!
I’d also like to see a starter kit with the square tips.
Overall, fantastic! Way cheaper than a salon.

The Dashing Diva Team - Jennifer F.Verified Buyer2 months agoRated 2 out of 5 starsDid not last
I followed the instructions to the letter and usually love this company. I have much better luck with the light-cured gel strips. I applied these on Sunday evening and they looked great on for Monday at work. By Monday evening, one had popped off. I tried to reapply but since they had color on them at that point, I feel like the gel glue didn’t cure properly. I’d recommend for special occasions, but not if you hope they last for a week or two.

I’ve been using various Dashing Diva products for many years now and have always been a fan. I just finished my first set of gelXtend nails, and I am so pleased with this product. Of all the years that I’ve been doing my nails this product has to be the easiest application of any nail tips that I’ve used in the past. I am so pleased with this product and I will definitely be a returning customer!

The Dashing Diva Team - AshVerified Reviewer5 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSo glad I heard about these…
I can’t believe how easy these were to apply. The gel glue consistency stayed put with no bubbles. I did get a bit on the skin but it was super easy to clip off. Even the gel polish applied so evenly, great products.
