Use primer as desired – not necessary if the base is sufficiently acidic
-
Apply LUNAmoon Rubber Base using a flat gel brush, cover all edges, cure for 60 sec.
-
Remove the dispersion layer
-
Build with gel, leaving a 0.5–1 mm distance to the cuticle. Cure for 60 sec.
-
File the shape after building to reinforce the nail tip
-
Thin nails: file out 1 mm of the natural nail from underneath to prevent lifting
-
Remove the dispersion layer and cover with color polish
-
Apply top coat, cure for 120 sec. Do not wipe afterward to maintain the shine
