SQ Tips – Transparent Dual Forms, 100 pcs

SQ Tips – transparent dual forms for fast and precise nail enhancements

Professional nail enhancements require precision, proper nail structure and control over the materials being used. SQ Tips are transparent and flexible dual forms that help create even nail extensions and make it easier to achieve the desired nail shape.

Unlike traditional glue-on nail tips, SQ Tips serve as temporary forms for shaping nail enhancement materials. The material is applied to the inside of the form, which is then placed onto the prepared natural nail. Once the material has fully cured or hardened, the form is removed, leaving the completed nail enhancement in place.

The forms are suitable for use with TOUCH gels and acrylic systems. Their transparent design allows visual control of the material and, when working with UV/LED products, also allows the light required for curing to pass through.

The flexible material makes it easier to remove the form from the finished nail enhancement. If the form remains undamaged and can be safely cleaned, it can be reused.

Key features and benefits

• Transparent design – allows you to check the distribution of the enhancement material inside the form.
• Flexible material – makes handling and subsequent removal from the finished nail enhancement easier.
• Consistent shaping – helps create similar lengths, curves and nail structures across individual nails.
• Suitable for TOUCH gels – allows nail enhancements using compatible UV/LED materials.
• Suitable for acrylic – can also be used with acrylic nail enhancement systems.
• Reusable – provided the forms remain undamaged and are maintained according to appropriate hygiene procedures.
• 10 sizes – choose according to the width and natural curvature of the nail plate.
• 100 pieces per package – 10 pieces of each size from 1 to 10.

What are SQ Tips used for?

SQ Tips serve as temporary shaping forms for extending and enhancing natural nails. They allow the enhancement material to be distributed into the desired shape before being transferred onto the prepared nail.

This technique can make it easier to create a consistent nail structure across individual nails and reduce the amount of subsequent filing, provided the material is distributed correctly and the appropriate form is selected.

The forms can also be used for nail enhancements incorporating decorative elements prepared directly inside the form before it is placed onto the nail.

How to choose the correct form size

The package contains 10 sizes numbered from 1 to 10. Each size is represented by 10 pieces.

1. Check the width of the natural nail. The form must match the dimensions of the nail plate.
2. Test the fit of the form. Check whether its curvature corresponds to the natural shape of the nail.
3. Check the side areas. The form must not create unwanted pressure or be too narrow.
4. Select the appropriate size. A correctly selected form allows even material distribution and helps create the desired nail structure.

Recommended nail enhancement procedure

1. Prepare the natural nail. Carry out the standard nail plate preparation according to the selected enhancement system, including the application of any required preparation and base products.
2. Choose the correct SQ Tips size. Check the width and curvature of the form in relation to the natural nail.
3. Apply the enhancement material inside the form. Use a suitable brush to distribute TOUCH gel or acrylic according to the desired length and nail structure.
4. Place the form onto the nail. Position it carefully, apply gentle pressure and check its placement. If necessary, secure the form using a fixing clip.
5. Remove excess material. Before curing or hardening, clean the side edges and underside of the nail using a suitable brush.
6. Allow the material to cure or harden. For UV/LED gels, use a suitable lamp and follow the curing time recommended by the manufacturer. Allow acrylic materials to harden according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7. Carefully remove the form. Once the enhancement material has fully cured or hardened, gently release and remove the form.
8. Complete the nail enhancement. Adjust the length, shape and nail surface as needed, then continue with colour application or the final finishing treatment.

Professional tip: When applying material inside the form, pay attention to even distribution and the area where the apex will be formed. Using the correct amount of material and positioning the form properly helps create the desired nail structure without unnecessary additional filing.

Nail Art design possibilities

SQ Tips can also be used for creative nail enhancements incorporating decorative elements. Nail Art decorations can be prepared directly inside the form and then covered with a suitable enhancement material.

When working with UV/LED materials, certain decorative layers can be pre-cured according to the requirements of the product being used before continuing with the standard enhancement procedure.

This technique allows decorative designs to become part of the nail structure itself. When using decorative elements, always consider their thickness and compatibility with the selected enhancement system.

DENATO professional recommendations

Before each application, always check that the selected form matches the width and curvature of the natural nail. An unsuitable size may make correct positioning more difficult and affect the final nail structure.

When working with TOUCH gels, always follow the recommended layer thickness and curing conditions for the specific material. Although the transparent form allows light to pass through, this alone does not guarantee proper curing if the material layer is excessively thick.

After removal, clean the form using a suitable method according to the material used. Before reusing it, check that it is clean, flexible and free from surface damage.
