- Next, apply a generous amount of gel ADHESIVE to the underside of the artificial nail tip that will come in contact with the natural nail
- Gently press the tip on the natural nail starting from the cuticle area to the free edge with constant, firm pressure, making sure to remove any air bubbles. If any bubbles are present, remove tip and reapply with step 1.
- Flash cure for 5 seconds under the Mini LED Lamp 1 finger at a time to hold the position of the tip. Remove excessive gel around the skin and underneath tip with manicure stick before moving onto full minute cure
- Cure for additional 60 seconds to make sure sides and edges are fully cured.
- Repeat on all 10 nails
- Trim and file the artificial tip if needed and customize as you like
