Step 1
- Apply a thin coat of Step 1 Bond. Allow it to dry completely.
Step 2
- Paint a thin coat of Step 2 Base and immediately dip finger at an angle into color powder of choice. Here we are using NA-15.
PRO TIP: Avoid getting the product onto cuticles, powder will pick up wherever Base is applied.
Step 3
- Carefully paint a second coat of Step 2 and immediately dip at an angle into color acrylic of choice, then use a fluffy brush to sweep off excess powder.
Step 4
- Using Step 2 Base, carefully paint the arches of a heart towards the lower middle of the nail and immediately dip the tip of finger at an angle into a darker color powder of choice. Here we are using PA-01.
