KB PROtect acts like a base coat film adhesive sticker that can be used with any nail product forming a protective barrier between the product and the natural nail. These are perfect for practicing and to save constantly removing and for photoshoot work.
A safe alternative to peel off base coat, which can come into contact with the skin and prove tricky when removing.

KB PROtect Step by Step
- Buff the natural nail to remove the shine.
- Choose KB PROtect to fit the nail (always oversize and not undersize, you can trim this - if you undersize and leave natural nail on show, when you apply product, it will stick to the natural nail and you won’t be able to remove the KB PROtect).
- Peel the cardboard backing from the KB PROtect.
- Apply to buffed natural nail, covering all edges.
- Rub firmly from centre to one side, then to the other side.
- Peel sticky firm plastic off (the previous step will loosen this).
- Use your finger or an orange wood stick to smooth out any bumps.
- Use a nail file or scissors to trim to the free edge. If the client has a very short free edge or extended hyponychium, tuck this under the free edge to prevent product seeping underneath and creating difficulty with removal.
- Apply form and enhancement or nail product as usual.
- If creating an extension, remove form, file into shape (you can also do this off the nail if you prefer).
- Use an orange wood stick to slide under the KB PROtect so this slips off without damaging the natural nail.
- Use blue tac to adhere to orange wood stick, nail tip display etc and decorate with your choice of art if you wish to decorate off the nail.
- If reapplying for a photoshoot, apply a new wrap as above, adhere the enhancement to this new wrap with a bead of acrylic or quick drying nail glue.
- Slide off again as before and you can keep the nails to display.
