Step - ACTIVATE IT

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The 2. ACTIVATE IT is the solution that hardens the nails to prevent
chipping & cracking.

This solution is skin-friendly, so don't be afraid to touch the skin.

Make sure to apply generously, VERY GENEROUSLY all over the nail plate.

The free-edge of the nail is most likely to chip & crack because it's the most flexible, make sure to apply generously on the free-edge.

Don’t worry if your nails are clumpy or uneven—this step will perfect their shape. It’s normal for first attempts to be a bit clumpy, but 97% of our customers get flawless results by their third try. You’ve got this!

Nail File

Powder Brush

Paper towel
(optional)

STEP BY STEP GUIDE

A:

Apply 1 very generous layer of activator to the full nail plate. It's important to coat the edges and the free edge also. Use plenty & don’t be afraid to touch your skin with this step. Repeat on all nails.

B:

Set your timer for 2 minutes and wait until the activator has
fully hardened.

C:

Grab the fine side of the nail file and file until all bumps, and impurities disappear, leaving the nail perfectly smooth. Don’t hesitate to file until the surface is thin and even—the free edge of your nail should be roughly the thickness of a credit card when viewed directly.

If your nails are too thick, continue filing until you're satisfied with the thickness. However, if they’re thinner than a credit card, they may be too thin and more likely to chip. In that case, we recommend applying another layer of Base It & Dip to reinforce them. Repeat on all nails.

D:

When you are done shaping:

Remove the excess dust with
the powder brush. Repeat on all nails.

Step - 2ND LAYER OF ACTIVATE IT

A:

Apply a second layer of Activate It. Apply a very generous amount. Again: the more, the better, and also make sure to cap the free edge of the nails. Repeat on all nails.

B:

Wait 2 minutes until all the nails are FULLY dry.

C:

After the timer goes off, wash your hands with lukewarm water and dry them fully. This will prevent the brush from hardening.

D:

To make sure the nail is fully dry go over it with a piece of paper towel. If your nail is not fully dry and you apply the Top It, then the brush will become hard. So make sure your nails are FULLY DRY!!
