Q: Why should your salon offer the
Black Diamond Manicure to clients?
A: SOG services have brought a whole new clientele into salons. Since artificial nails only represent about 5% of clients, SOG allows salons to attract the other 95% into salons for more services. Of those clients, though only a portion will have a satisfactory long term results with a SOG and the Black Diamond Manicure offers the solution for that entire segment of clients allowing salons to capture 100% of clients that walk through the door.
Q: What is the difference between aBlack Diamond
Manicure and a Soak Off Gel (SOG) service?
A: A SOG service is designed for a normal to strong natural nail to provide color for up to 14 days and then is removed with acetone and reapplied. A Black Diamond Manicure is the perfect alternative for clients who are looking for longer lasting results, need more strength and a SOG can provide and weak to normal natural nails do not respond well to the acetone removal process.
Q: How is the Bondique Black Diamond removed?
A: Bondique Black Diamond is a non-porous, solvent free, non-toxic, non-yellowing and biocompatible resin originating from the dental industry. There is no soaking required for the removal. It is a simple process of gentle filing to remove the overlay to almost the natural nail and then it naturally grows off.
Q: Should the C-curve be built to reinforce
the stress point?
A: Because Bondique Black Diamond is flexible, yet extremely strong, there is no need for additional product. A thin layer of the product is suitable for an overlay. Bondique Black Diamond may be used to sculpt a short extension or to create a C-curve or arch on the nail that may need more reinforcing if desired.
Q: How far can the free-edge be extended with
Bondique Black Diamond?
A: When a form is used to extend the natural nail a safe rule is no more than a third of the length of the natural nail.
Q: Can Bondique Black Diamond be applied over a tip?
A: Yes. After the proper prep, apply the tip as normal and blend the entire surface and remove any shine. Proceed with the step-by-step being mindful to reinforce the stress point.
Q: How thin should the Bondique Black Diamond
overlay be?
A: The application should be approximately 1.5mm - 2mm before filing.
Q: Can your salon offer a Permanent French Manicure?
A: The LCN line has a variety of French white options for creating a customized “French Manicure” or “Pink and White” nails.
Q: Can colour be applied to complete the
Black Diamond Manicure?
A: With the Black Diamond Manicure colour options are endless. LCN’s One Coat Colour Gels, LCN’s Recolution soak off gel polish and LCN’s Nail Polishes are all possibilities for adding colour.
