Apply a thin base layer to prevent excessive product buildup, which saves time on filing and buffing. With practice, you'll master this technique.

Use all sides of a 4-way file, starting from the coarsest to the finest side, to achieve a super smooth surface. The smoother the nails, the shinier and glossier the top coat will appear.

At this stage, refrain from touching the nail surface to prevent oil residue, which can result in a matte or dull finish. In addition, avoid washing hands after buffing, as moisture can disrupt the drying process of the top coat. Instead, gently remove filing dust with a fluffy brush.

Apply a second coat of activator to ensure quick drying of the nails. Apply a minimal amount, focusing on the surface level.

The timing between Activator and top coat is crucial. The suggested waiting time is 2-5 minutes but keep in mind that you may need to adjust the timing based on your environment.

Apply the first of Top Coat using only three quick strokes and avoiding pressing the brush too hard onto the nail. Allow the first layer to dry for about 2 minutes.

As the first layer dries, you will notice a change in shine. Follow up with a second Top Coat layer, applying it more precisely. Don’t forget to seal the end of the nail with Top Coat.
