nger, or a sponge applicator. Apply lots of pressure and rub until it’s perfectly smooth with no shimmer. - Clean any excess product from around the nail using a nail brush, lint-free wipe, or your table towel.
- Topcoat using the same tack-free soak off gel topcoat.
- Apply a hard gel over the enhancement.
