Now we've got the basics covered, here's some tips, tricks & advice:
- Always make sure you prep before application! A lot of people miss the prep stage to save time but it plays an important part in the application if you want your nails to last and look the best they can
- Buffing the natural nail helps to dehydrate the nail slightly so the base coat can adhere a lot better than if there was moisture there
- Make sure you cure for the full 60 seconds for each step, it may seem like a long time per nail, but remember all these steps are to help them last longer and avoid allergies from undercuring.
- wait at least 10 minutes after final cure to use cuticle oil, as it can cause discolouration of the topcoat.
- Always start your polish application on your index finger, moving toward the pinky, then do the thumbs last seperately, so product doesn't slip
To remove, buff surface thoroughly, and apply acetone soaked cotton wool to nail, wrapping in foil or covering with reusable clips. Allow to soak for 20 minutes or so, then gently scrape away the product from the natural nail.
