  • Take your time between each step for the best results.
  • Carefully follow the recommended waiting times between the Base coat, Activator, and Top coat.
  • Avoid contact with the cuticles to prevent air bubbles from forming.
  • Apply each layer of liquid thinly to avoid unwanted thickening or deformation.
