1. Apply one coat in three brushstrokes, starting with the center of the nail.

2. If nails are long, make sure to strengthen them by applying the base coat on the edges to prevent damage and to limit chipping.

3. To make nails appear longer, leave a 1mm border around the cuticle and the sides of the nail.
