What You'll Learn
Preparing your nails
Protect your work area: Start by laying out fresh paper towels, a rag, or newspaper to protect your work surface from any spills or messes.
Gather your supplies: In addition to the items included in the KISS Brush-On Gel Nail Kit, have some acetone, a dusting brush, and a cotton ball handy. If you plan on adding nail art, gather your desired nail polishes and decorations.
Select the correct nail tip size: Choose the nail tips that best fit each of your nails. The KISS Brush-On Gel Nail Kit provides a range of sizes to ensure a perfect fit. Pick the appropriate size for each finger and lay them out in order before beginning the application. If needed, you can also customise the fit by filing the sides of the nail tips.
Push back cuticles: Using a manicure stick, gently push back your cuticles to prepare your nails for the application.
Trim, file, and shape your nails: Trim your natural nails to your desired length and shape them with a nail file. If you have existing nail polish, remove it with a non-acetone nail polish remover before proceeding.
Buff and clean your nails: Lightly buff the surface of your nails to remove any shine and create a rough texture for better adhesion. Wipe your nails with acetone to remove any dust or residue. Ensure your nails are clean and dry before moving on to the next step.
By following these steps, you will have properly prepared your nails for the application of the KISS Brush-On Gel Nail Kit. Remember to take your time and work carefully to achieve the best results.

Applying the polish
To apply the polish, start by protecting your work surface with paper towels, a rag, or newspaper. Next, prepare your nails by pushing back cuticles with a manicure stick. Trim and file your nails, then lightly buff the nail surface to remove any shine. Remove the dust with a dusting brush and wipe your nails clean with acetone polish remover.
Select the correct size tip for each finger and set them aside in order before beginning. You may need to file the sides for an accurate fit. Hold the tip with an Easy-Apply Tab and apply a small amount of Brush-on Gel to the back well area of the nail tip (the part that adheres to the natural nail). Slowly lower the tip onto your natural nail and hold it firmly for about 30 seconds. Repeat this process for the rest of your nails/fingers.
To blend the tip with your natural nail, apply and hold the wet brush from the brush cleaner along the seam of each tip. Next, lightly buff the seam if necessary but avoid excessive filing on the natural nail surface. Remove the Easy-Apply Tabs by gently bending them up and down (do not twist them off). File your nails to the desired shape and wipe off any dust.
Now, apply an even layer of Brush-on Gel to one nail, avoiding the skin and cuticle area. Then, use the brush from the Brush Cleaner and dip it into the Activator. Apply a thin coat of Activator over the wet gel, just as you would with regular polish. Wipe the brush on a paper towel and return it to the Brush Cleaner to keep it clean and soft. Repeat these steps on all ten nails.
Apply a second layer of Brush-on Gel and Brush-on Activator by repeating the previous step. For a more opaque look, you can apply a third layer of the Gel/Activator combination. After completing all ten nails, finish with a thin layer of Brush-on Gel on all nails as you would a top coat. The Brush-on Gel will self-level and set to a hard, smooth, and shiny surface in under 5 minutes.

Adding a second layer
After applying the first layer of Brush-on Gel and Brush-on Activator, it is time to apply the second layer. This step is crucial to achieving the desired opacity and ensuring a smooth and shiny finish.
To begin, grab your Brush-on Gel and Brush-on Activator bottles. Ensure that you are working on a clean surface and have your paper towels or a rag nearby to avoid any messes. It is important to work quickly and efficiently as the gel and activator need to be applied while the previous layer is still wet for the best results.
Starting with your dominant hand, apply a second layer of Brush-on Gel to one nail, being careful to avoid the skin and cuticle area. Take your time to ensure an even application. Repeat this step for all ten nails. Remember, thin layers are key to achieving a smooth finish.
Once you have applied the second layer of Brush-on Gel to all your nails, it's time to move on to the Brush-on Activator. Dip the brush from the Brush Cleaner into the Activator and apply a thin coat over the wet gel. Work on one nail at a time, just like you did with the Brush-on Gel. Be sure to wipe the brush on a paper towel and return it to the Brush Cleaner after each application to keep it clean and soft.
By following these detailed steps for adding a second layer, you will be well on your way to achieving a professional-looking manicure at home!

Finishing with a top coat
Before applying the top coat, make sure you have completed the previous steps in the manicure process, including pushing back your cuticles with a manicure stick, trimming and filing your nails, and lightly buffing the nail surface to remove any surface shine. You should also select the correct-sized tip for each finger and apply the Brush-On Gel to the back well area of the nail tip, pressing it onto your natural nail and holding it firmly until it sets.
Now, you're ready to finish with a top coat! Apply a thin layer of Brush-On Gel to all ten nails, just as you would with a regular top coat. The Brush-On Gel will self-level and set to a hard, smooth, and shiny surface in under 5 minutes.
You can enjoy your manicure as is, or you can finish with your own nail polish for a different color. You can also add nail art for a unique and personalized look. Remember to use non-acetone nail polish if you plan on removing your nail polish but keeping the kit on.
The KISS Brush-On Gel Nail Kit provides a super strong and long-lasting manicure, with a unique gel formula that dries fast and doesn't require a curing light. The entire process typically takes about an hour and a half, and you can expect your manicure to last for two weeks or more.

Removal
The Kiss Brush-On Gel Nail Kit is designed for a long-lasting manicure, but when it's time for a change, there are several ways to remove it. Firstly, do not force or pull off the nails, as this can damage your natural nails. Instead, trim off as much of the artificial tip as possible.
For quick and easy removal, use an artificial nail remover such as KISS Glue OFF or acetone-based nail polish remover. Soak your nails in the remover until they become soft. Then, wipe off the softened overlay and glue; repeat this process as many times as necessary.
Alternatively, if you plan to remove your nail polish and/or nail art but want to keep the kit on, use a non-acetone nail polish remover. You can also use this method to perform a fill: use some acetone at the cuticle area, then apply a layer of gel glue followed by the activator.
The Kiss Gel Nail Polish is formulated for gentle removal to minimise damage to your nails, so they stay healthy and strong.
