Step 1: Prepare the Natural Nails

Before applying aluminum nail forms, clean and prepare the natural nails:

  • Remove old nail polish or gel residue
  • Push back cuticles
  • Shape the natural nails
  • Gently buff the nail surface
  • Clean with nail cleanser

Proper preparation helps improve gel adhesion and extension durability.

Step 2: Select and Adjust the Aluminum Nail Form

Choose the correct aluminum nail form size according to the client’s nail shape.

Adjust the form by:

  • Aligning the center line with the nail center
  • Folding the wings securely around the finger
  • Ensuring the extension edge follows the natural nail direction

A well-fitted nail form creates a perfect foundation for gel extensions.

Step 3: Apply Builder Gel or Extension Gel

Apply your preferred gel product onto the aluminum nail form:

  • Place the gel at the stress area for strength
  • Extend the gel to the desired length
  • Shape the extension evenly
  • Check the side profile for balance

Aluminum nail forms help maintain accurate length and structure during curing.

Step 4: Cure and Remove the Nail Form

Place the nails under an LED/UV nail lamp according to the gel manufacturer’s instructions.

After curing:

  • Carefully remove the aluminum nail form
  • Check the extension structure
  • File and refine the shape if needed

Step 5: Finish and Create the Perfect Nail Design

Complete the manicure by:

  • Buffing the surface
  • Applying color gel or nail art
  • Adding top coat
  • Curing for a glossy finish

Your professional gel nail extension is now complete.
