- Apply Prep to a lint-free wipe and clean the nail plate. Prep dehydrates, degreases, and gets the nail plate ready for the base.
- Apply Premium Bond and cure under LED light for 15 seconds.
- Apply a layer of Polkadots Flex Base and cure under LED for 60 seconds. Repeat this step — apply two layers in total.
- For best results, avoid touching the skin and don't work too close to the cuticle. Press the base firmly onto the nail plate with your brush to ensure strong adhesion. This helps the base penetrate the nail plate. For the second layer, this is not necessary; simply polish and optionally apply the layer a bit fuller for added strength. Flip the hand briefly before curing to allow the gel to level out nicely with a slight apex — but don’t flip too long!
- Apply your desired Gel Polish color directly onto the Flex Base without cleansing or buffing. Always avoid contact with the cuticle. Cure under LED for 120 seconds.
- Finish with the Premium Top Coat for ultimate shine. Cure for 120 seconds.
We always recommend curing all products with a high-quality LED lamp, and never curing base, color, or top coat on the low heat setting. This ensures optimal polymerization of our products.
