Ā Directions.
Ā
1.Prep the nails and cuticle work as usual.
Ā
2. Dehydrate and primer the nail surface.Ā
Ā
3.Using a small amount of clear gel, place that onto the nail surface and firmly "scrub" that into the nail plate/and tip if applicable, cure for 60secĀ
Ā
4.With your chosen shade, pick up a bead accounting to the length of the enhancement and place just below the cuticle area, gently "walk" the bulk of the product down the centre of the nail to help create the strength and structure where its needed to be, then using your fine liner brush guide some product towards the side walls and refine cuticle area. Some like to turn the nail upside down to help gravity pull the product to the centre.
Ā
5 Once happy with the placement and structure cure for 60/90sec.
Ā
6. Remove the tacky layer with IPA and its ready for filing and refinement.Ā
