Step 1 - Apply the base coat.

• Try to apply the base coat as evenly and neatly as possible. Focus on creating a round and clean edge just above the cuticle.
• Don't leave your brush exposed in the air for too long. If it's crystallized, place it back into the bottle, close the lid tightly and wait for 5 minutes before using.

Step 2 - Dip in for 5 seconds and sit for 1 minute. Once your nails are dry, brush off excess powder.
