Application Guide

Start every manicure by wiping your bare nails with rubbing alcohol or 100% acetone (skip this step if you have sensitivities to either product). This removes all traces oil and residue, creating a clean surface for product application. Next, apply 1 coat of base coat. This acts as a primer, helping polish adhere to the nail. Then, apply 2-3 thin coats of nail polish. This allows your polish layers to dry faster. Finally, apply 1-2 coats of quick-dry top coat to protect and add a glossy shine.

Over time, particle settlement may occur and you will start to see ingredient separation in your bottle. This is normal and does not effect the colour of the product. To use it again, simply shake your bottle vigorously to mix the contents back up. As this product ages, ingredients in your nail polish will start to evaporate and change the consistency of the product. To remedy this, add Nail Polish Thinner to replace the evaporated ingredients and return your product back to its original form. To use, add 5-10 drops to your nail polish bottle and shake vigorously. Check the consistency and repeat if necessary. Never use acetone to thin your polish.

Glitter Polish Removal

For easy glitter removal, wet a cotton pad with 100% acetone and place it on top of the nail. Then wrap a piece of aluminium foil entirely around the finger to keep the cotton pad in place. Repeat this for all fingers and let sit for 10 minutes. This allows the acetone to penetrate through all the layers of polish to loosen stubborn glitter particles. To remove, firmly grip the aluminium wrap and slide it off the fingers taking the cotton pad and any glitter polish with it. Clean any remnants off the nail with acetone. This method is not suitable for those with acetone sensitivities.
