Step 1
- Apply a coat of Step 1 Bond to all fingernails
Step 2
- Prep colored acrylic & French White in a small dish & swirl to create a stone pattern
PRO TIP: Here we are using PA-15 & PA-16
Step 3
- Paint a thin coat of Step 2 Base and immediately press the nail bed downwards onto the acrylic powder mix.
- Tap finger to rid of loose powder and use a fluffy brush to sweep off excess powder
PRO TIP: Avoid getting the product onto cuticles, powder will pick up wherever Base if applied
