Q. What is Gellifique™ Apex Gel?

A. Apex gel is a soak off builder gel in a bottle, formulated free of HEMA which is otherwise commonly present in this type of product. This gel can be used to create short, sculpted nail extensions of up to 1.5cm in length when used with our rubber base coat. Apex gel gives a strong yet flexible nail enhancement that wears well and is removed by filing away bulk and then soaking.

Q. What is the difference between Apex gel and Apex gel 2in1?

A. Apex gel 2in1 is a natural nail enhancer. This product comes in a variety of shades and is for the natural nail only. It acts as a nail strengthener and can be infilled like our Apex gel but is too soft to build an extension. You can, however, build with this product depending on the level of strength you need and we recommend also using this product with a base coat for ultimate adhesion and optimum results.

Q. What products are best suited for weak bendy nails?

A. Any of the Gellifique™ "structure" products such as builder gel or acrylic gel would be suitable. Alternatively, a client that is looking for a non-hard overlay product would benefit from a strengthening product such as Gellifique™ Ultra Seal which can be layered over your cured colour and before your topcoat, which limits the flex in the natural. Simply using a Rubber Base is also a great option for adding strength to the natural nail and our range of Rubber Bases is hypoallergenic (formulated without a CPL classification) which is also a bonus.

Q. What is the difference between Microcrystal Top Coat and Armour Top Coat?

A. Both top coats are super shiny, tack-free and are scratch-resistant, however, the Gellifique™ Armour Top Coat as the name suggests is that bit stronger giving your clients more protection to chipping if they are more "hands-on". Both contain a formulation technology which gives both top coats superior strength and resilience.

Q. What do I do if I or my client get a reaction?

Please download, fill out and email back to us the form below

GELLIFIQUE ALLERGY INCIDENT REPORT DOWNLOAD 

Q. Why am I getting a heat spike?

A. A heat spike or an exothermic reaction occurs during the curing process of all gel-based and acrylic based products. This is caused by a chemical reaction as the molecules begin to shrink and harden giving off heat as they rush around on the surface of the nail plate. This heat spike occurs when there is either a large amount of product on the nail i.e. when building a nail enhancement or if a product has a high percentage of acrylates within it. We always recommend applying product either in stages and thinner layers as well as using the low heat mode when working with soak off and hard builder gel. Acrylic Gel has no know exothermic reaction.

Q. What can I do to prevent getting a heat spike?

A. For sensitive clients please use a low heat setting on a UV/LED lamp.

Q. Where can you find the step by step guides?

A. You can find all our step by step guides below each of our products on the website. We also have a dedicated link to all of our product application material on the left-hand side menu. 

Q. What is the curing time for your products?

A. All our products are tested to cure in 30 seconds in a minimum 48w lamp however we recommend 60second cure as not all lamps are equal and also depends on how thickly the products have been applied. 60 seconds will give you peace of mind that the product has had a thorough cure. If you are using a lamp that you have purchased elsewhere, make sure you check with the manufacturer the quality of the bulbs and the bulb life. Some lamps that are cheaper may need to be changed yearly to keep the strength of the UV light that is needed to give a proper cure. 

Q. Can I use your gels with other brand's products?

A. We recommend using the complete Gellifique ™ system as all of the products have been calibrated to perform well together. If other products were to be used we would be unable to predict or comment on the chemical compatibility.

MISCELLANEOUS

Q. Do you manufacture branded UV/LED lamps?

A. No, we do not manufacture branded accessories at the moment as our R&D focus is on UV/LED gel. Our products can be cured with a responsibly purchased and maintained in good condition 48W UV/LED lamp.

Q. How do I know if your product will cure with my UV/LED lamp?

A. During the manufacturing process, all of our products are tested using the lowest possible emissions of UV/LED light. However, due to the fact that our gel polishes are very pigmented and thicker in texture, we recommend using a UV/LED lamp of at least 48W to ensure that the gel cures quickly and without sliding, bubbling etc, Therefore, it is our recommendation to purchase your lamp from a reliable supplier and to maintain it in top condition i.e. by replacing bulbs when necessary, etc

Q. How long have you been trading?

A. We have been trading for 5 years so far. 

Q. Where are your products made?

A. We work with many international manufacturers. Our products are made in EU and China.
