Step 1
  • Prep nails as usual. Paint a thin coat of Step 2 Base and immediately dip nail bed into French White.
  • Tap finger to rid of loose powder and use a fluffy brush to sweep off excess powder.


Step 2
  • Repeat to create a solid background for the clover.

PRO TIP: Avoid getting the product onto cuticles, powder will pick up wherever Base is applied. If this happens, use the pointed end of our Jelly Pusher to clean up your edges.

Step 3
  • Apply Step 3 Activator and allow a few minutes for powder to harden.
  • Buff and shape nails to create a smooth nail surface.
Step 4
  • Apply Step 3 Activator onto nail bed & allow a few minutes to harden.
Step 5
  • Place drops of Step 2 Base onto a square of aluminum foil & use a pointed tip to create the clover onto the nail.
Step 6
  • Pour colored acrylic of choice over the wet Step 2 Base, here we are using CL02. Then tap finger to rid of loose powder.


Step 7
  • Repeat to create the rest of the clover.
Step 8
  • Carefully paint a second coat of Step 2 and immediately dip nail into Base & Finish. Then tap finger to rid of loose powder & sweep with a fluffy brush to get rid of excess powder.

PRO TIP: Brushes may harden or pick up color powder during application. Simply switch them between Brush Softener for easy cleaning & workability.

Step 9
  • Apply Step 3 Activator and allow a few minutes for powder to harden.
Step 10
  • Buff and shape nails to your desired shape, then wash hands or use a lint free wipe saturated in alcohol to wipe the nails clean.

PRO TIP: Make sure nails are completely dry before moving to the next step!

Step 11
  • Apply a second coat of Step 3 Activator. Allow 3-5 minutes for nails to dry.

PRO TIP: If you live in a humid climate, you may need to increase your dry time.

Step 12
  • Paint a coat of Step 4 Sealer and allow 2-3 minutes for nails to dry.
Step 13
  • Paint a second coat of Step 4 Sealer and allow 3-5 minutes for nails to dry.

PRO TIP: Don't apply more than 2 coats of Sealer as this will prevent even drying & may result in a gummy mani.

Finish!
