2 layers of fresh colour
"This one is ideal for summer. One layer is pretty transparent, but the second one covers everything! It's cool and minty"
Step 1: Nail Prep
Remove oils and lotions by scrubbing each nail with a lint-free pad soaked in Nail Prep.
Tip: Always use a new pad for each hand.
Step 2: Base Coat
Apply two coats to each nail, allowing each layer to dry.
Tip: if cloudy or jelly-like, place the bottle in 1 inch of hot water until clear. Use ¾ inch for Minis. *Do not microwave or fully submerge.*
Step 3: Lacquer
Apply two coats of your favorite color, allowing each to dry.
Step 4: Top Coat
Apply one layer to each nail after the Lacquer has dried matte. Wait five minutes. Your manicure is done!
+ Revive
Add Revive to thickened Nail Lacquer, Top Coat, or Transform.
Tip: Use 6–8 drops for Full-size, 3–4 for mini-size bottles.
Important: Do NOT add to Base Coat—it will damage the product.
