Preparation

File your nails into the desired shape and gently push back your cuticles.

For optimal adhesion, lightly roughen/match the natural nails with a buffer block or the fine side of a file before application.

Be sure to remove invisible cuticle and skin debris as well, to avoid lifting.

Do not apply oils or creams before use.

Step 1: Base coat

Apply a thin, even layer of Base Coat to the entire nail. The first coat should be quick and does not need to be too precise. Be careful not to touch the cuticles or surrounding skin, as this can cause lifting and affect adhesion.

Dip the thumb fully into the "Dark Reddish Purple" dipping powder, the middle finger into the "Champagne Gold" dipping powder, and the pinky into the "Smooth Avocado" dipping powder. Tap off the excess powder and use a fluffy brush to gently sweep away any loose particles.

Apply a second thin layer of base coat to these three nails and repeat the dip into their respective colors to build full opacity and an even finish. Brush them clean thoroughly after dipping.

For your index and ring fingers, apply a thin, even layer of base coat to the entire nail and dip fully into "Crystal Clear" powder to create a neutral foundation. Tap off the excess and gently brush away any loose particles.

Next, apply a thin layer of base coat only to the upper half of the index and ring nails, carefully shaping it into a curved French tip while leaving the lower portion bare. Dip the coated tip of the index finger into the Smooth Avocado" dipping powder, and the tip of the ring finger into the "Dark Reddish Purple" dipping powder. Gently tap off the excess, brush away the loose powder, and apply a second coat of base and powder to the tips if you need more vibrant coverage.

To protect the entire mixed design, apply a smooth layer of base coat over all five nails and dip them fully into "Crystal Clear" powder to encapsulate the colors and French tip patterns. Tap off the excess and brush clean.

Step 2: Base Coat & Color Powder

Repeat step 1 for optimal coverage, adhesion and beautiful and stunning color intensity.

Step 3: Activator Coat

Apply enough Activator Coat over the entire nail surface, edges and also at the tip. The Activator is the most important step in the application process because it seals and binds the layers to the nail, preventing air bubbles from forming and ensuring long-lasting adhesion. Allow the Activator Coat to dry for at least two minutes.

Step 4: Filing & Polishing

Now you can use the fine side of the file or a buffer to buff away all bumps and imperfections and bring the nails to the desired shape and thickness. It is important to file carefully so that you do not damage the surface and nails.

Step 5: Activator Coat

Repeat step 3. Again, apply enough Activator Coat to the entire nail and its perimeter to seal the layers optimally. Then allow the Activator Coat to dry for at least two minutes. To make sure the Activator Coat is dry, you can clean the surface of the nail with a paper towel after 2 minutes. This is to prevent the Top Coat from curing due to contamination.

Allow 2-3 minutes of waiting time between Top Coat and Activator Coat.

Step 6: Top Coat

Apply a thin layer of Top Coat evenly with 2-3 quick strokes and allow it to dry for at least two minutes.

Step 7: Top Coat

Repeat step 6. Apply a second, thin coat of Top Coat to the nails. Then let this dry for 2-3 minutes.

And voila! With these simple steps, you will create beautiful, long-lasting nails with the 'Dark Reddish Purple + Smooth Avocado + Champagne Gold + Crystal Clear' dipping powder. Have fun with your beautiful nails!
