Pro Tips

- Ensure the natural nail is fully dehydrated before applying the base coat to prevent adhesion failures.
- Use thin, even strokes to avoid flooding the cuticles, which can cause premature lifting.
- Since this is a darker shade, verify the cure time is complete to prevent soft, under-cured layers.
- For a smooth, refined look, consider cleaning up the side walls with a brush dipped in alcohol before curing.
