How to

Step 1: Nail Prep Scrub each nail with a lint-free pad thoroughly to remove any oils or lotions.

Step 2: Base Coat Apply two layers to each nail, allowing each coat to dry matte. If Base Coat is cloudy or jelly-like, stand the bottle in one inch of hot water until the product becomes clear. **Do not microwave or submerge in water. 

Step 3: Lacquer Apply two layers of Nail Lacquer to each nail, allowing each layer to dry matte. **Avoid contact with cuticles and skin to prevent lifting.

Step 4: Top Coat Apply one layer of Top Coat to each nail after the Lacquer has dried matte. Wait five minutes—your manicure is done!

+Revive: Add 6-8 drops of Revive to a Top Coat, Transform, or Nail Lacquer whose consistency is too thick. Add more if necessary. 

**DO NOT add Revive to a Base Coat. It will ruin the product. Store with original cap to prevent evaporation from occurring.

I love how quick my

"I love how quick my nails dry, but the polish only lasts a few days before chipping. It lasted longer on my Mom's nails but she doesn't do dishes or work with her hands much. Also needed 3 coats to cover nails. Love the product, just needs to be more durable for me."
