Here is tips on how to get the search for your self in gel:

- Apply gel base coat, remedy
- Apply gel shade coat(s), remedy. Take away cheesy layer with isopropyl alcohol.
- Peel off the backing from the celebrities and stick them firmly onto your manicure
- Apply a coat of gel topcoat or construction gel
over the celebrities, remedy
- If wanted, buff the floor of your nails flippantly to clean out any tough edges
