Préparation is the most important step in avoiding décollements.

&Essential steps:

✔ push back cuticles
✔ file the shape of the nail
✔ mattify the;gèrement la plaque
✔ retirer la poussière
✔ appliquer un cleaner ou déshydratant

A good pretreatment will improve the adhesion of the semi-permanent varnish.

Using a professional base coat

The base coat protects the natural nail and makes the gel polish last longer.

Apply a thin coat of base coat then catalyse under UV/LED lamp for the recommended time.
