Application Guide

Apply quality base coat of choice (or pva glue/removable glitter base coat if you’re using a glitter). Make sure you apply the polish in thin, even coats across the nail allowing each layer to dry properly before applying the next. Remember to wrap the free edge (or tip) of the nail to encourage a reduction of shrinkage and longer wear without chipping.
Once you have completed your application, seal with a quality glossy top coat for that water-smooth shine. We enjoy using Cirque Liquid Laminate, Glisten & Glow or Seche Vite.
