Nail Prep:
Make sure that you have all your materials and tools available and easily accessible.
- Clean and sanitize your hands to prevent bacteria from entering your powders.
- Push back your cuticles and remove them being very careful not to cut yourself.
- File your nail to the desired length and shape and then gently file the surface as the products need a surface to adhere to. Donāt over do it though!
- Apply a pH Bond or rubbing alcohol to all your nails to remove any natural oils that may prevent proper adhesion of the product or cause lifting.
Solid color application:
- Apply a thin coat of Base Coat to 3/4 of the nail, quickly dip into powder and tap off the excess dip powder. If you get product in your cuticle use an orange stick to clean around your cuticles.Ā
- Repeat the process in all your nails.
- Brush off the excess powder with a makeup brush and repeat step 1, this time apply the base coat to the entire nail leaving a small space from the cuticle.
- You can repeat the process until youāre satisfied with the color and thickness. The more layers the stronger and durable. We recommend at least 4 dips.
- Apply two coats of Activator. Let it dry for about 2 minutes.
- To correct any imperfections, file and buff your nails until they are completely smooth.
- Apply activator again, wait 3-4 minutes and quickly wipe each nail with a lint free wipe or paper towel to remove any excess activator.
- Apply one thin layer of Top Coat in 2 to 3 quick strokes avoiding the cuticle area. This first coat will look a little matte. Do this on all 5 nails.
- Quickly apply the final layer of top coat for a shinier look. Make sure to cover all the areas of the nail surface.
- Repeat the previous steps on your other hand.
