Step 1: Prep your nails! Remove existing nail lacquer then trim and shape nails by filing in one direction only to prevent breakage! Apply cuticle oil, push back cuticles and remove hangnails. Finally, cleanse to remove oil.

Step 2: Apply base coat to prime the nail surface, increase lacquer adhesion and prevent discoloration.

Step 3: Apply two coats of Nail Lacquer, using three strokes for each coat. Apply the first down the middle and then one on each side for complete coverage.

Step 4: Apply top coat over the nail. Don’t forget to cap the nail’s free edge to keep color from chipping.
