Prepare your nails by removing any oil from your nails, using Manucurist's Green Flash gentle remover.

Step 1: wipe the brush to remove any excess and apply the Green Flash base in a thin layer, you don't need a lot. Cap the free edge of the nail by running the brush over the tip of the nail; this is very important to prevent the polish from lifting and this will help the colour to adhere better. Cure under the lamp for 2 minutes if you are using Manucurists's 18W Led lamp. Times might be different if you are using your own lamp.

Step 2: apply the colour in 3 or 4 brush strokes only, using as little product as possible. Wipe on side of the brush and just leave a tiny drop of product on the tip of the brush. Start in the middle of the nail, then paint each side in thin layer and cap the free edge without adding more polish. Cure under Manucurist's 18W led lamp for 2 minutes and repeat the same step one more time so you end up with 2 thin layers of colour.

Step 3: apply the Green Flash top coat in a thin layer, cap the free edge of the nail and cure under the lamp for 3 minutes. Et voila ! You can expect an exceptional shine and staying power for up to 10 days.
