Start by using the fine side (logo side) of the nail file and file your
nails in their desired shape. Repeat on all nails.

Now, gently push back the cuticles using the cuticle pusher. With the other side, remove all dead skin from the nail. Make sure there is no white tissue left, as this can make them prone to lifting. Repeat on all nails.

Gently buff the entire nail plate with the soft side of your file (logo side), starting at the cuticle and moving to the free edge. Ensure all shine is removed—including near the sides and cuticles—to prevent lifting. Avoid overfiling to protect your nails, and finish by brushing away all dust with the powder brush.

Apply the primer to your nails for maximum durability. Repeat on all nails.

Stir through the powder with your cuticle pusher to make sure there are no clumps in the powder and application will be smooth.

Take out the base coat brush and swirl your brush into the neck of the bottle. (This helps to prevent too thick application)

Now it’s time to APPLY first layer of BASE IT + DIP

Work One Nail at a Time: Apply the base coat to one nail and dip it directly into the powder before it dries. Here is a detailed explanation:

1. Apply a Thin, Even Layer: Use a light hand to apply a thin and even coat of Base It, ensuring you cover all areas of the nail, including the sides, and get as close to the edges as possible—without touching the skin or cuticle.
2. Swipe the Free Edge: After coating the nail with base it, use the remaining product on your brush to swipe the very tip of your nail (the free edge). This ensures the entire nail is encapsulated in product for better durability.
3. Dip Immediately: Dip your nail into the powder at a 45-degree angle (or backwards dipping for longer nails or extensions). Check the QR code for a detailed demonstration.
4. Ensure Full Coverage: Make sure your nail is fully covered in powder. Then, gently tap off the excess powder before moving to the next nail.

Once you’ve done this on 1 nail (base + dip) you can move on to the next nail. Repeat the above on all nails.

If the powder on your nail appears wet, you've used too much base coat and you need to redip your finger without adding more base it. Repeat on nails that appear wet.

After you've done all your nails brush off any excess powder with the powder brush. Repeat on all nails.

Now clean up the edges & cuticle area with the back of the cuticle pusher (or the clean up tool from the manicure toolbox) so you get a neat cuticle. Repeat on all nails.

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, avoiding the skin around the nails. Repeat on all nails.

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

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.

When you are done shaping: Remove the excess dust with the powder brush. Repeat on all nails.

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.

Wait 2 minutes until all the nails are FULLY dry.

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

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!!

Apply a thin, even layer of Top It to each nail, making sure to cap the free edges. After applying Top It to each nail, wipe the brush on a paper towel before placing it back in the bottle. This prevents the brush from hardening and the liquid from becoming contaminated. Repeat for all nails.

Now wait for 3 minutes.

When the timer goes off you then apply a 2nd thin layer of Top it. Repeat on all nails.

Again wait for 3 minutes.

Apply cuticle oil for the health & strength of your nails.

Now you are complete! Great job!
