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

Step 4

Carefully paint a second coat of Step 2 and immediately dip nail into Base & Finish to create a transparent layer

PRO TIP: Don't skip this step! This creates the dreamy, translucent layers

Step 5

Repeat until desired thickness

PRO TIP: Make sure to tap off excess loose powder in between coats!

Apply Step 3 Activator onto the nail and allow a few minutes for powder to harden

Use our coarse grit buffer to even out the preferred thickness of the nails and the 240 grit buffer to smooth the nail surface
