Step 2: Prepare Your Nails

Proper nail preparation is crucial for the longevity of your gel polish.

Step 3: Apply the Base Coat

The base coat is essential for protecting your nails and ensuring the polish adheres properly.

1. Apply Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of the Beetles base coat to each nail, making sure to cover the entire nail and seal the edges.

3. Cure Under Lamp: Cure your nails again under the lamp for 30-60 seconds.
4. Second Coat Application: Repeat the process for a second coat to achieve desired opacity, curing after each application.

Step 5: Apply Top Coat

The top coat seals and adds shine to your manicure.

1. Apply Top Coat: Apply a thin layer of Beetles top coat over the color.
2. Cure Under Lamp: Cure for another 30-60 seconds to harden the top coat.
3. Wipe Residue: Use a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol to remove any tacky residue from the top coat.
