- Prep nails for proper adhesion by pushing back cuticles, trimming, filing, buffing, and cleaning thoroughly.
- Shake all bottles well to mix pigments evenly.
- Apply Natural Nail Base Coat, painting the edge first, then sweeping a thin layer across the nail. Let dry for 1-2 minutes.
- Apply Nail Lacquer similarly: paint the edge, then sweep a thin layer of color. Let dry 1-2 minutes. Repeat for a second coat.
- Finish with Top Coat, applying it the same way as the color. Let dry 1-2 minutes.
