3. Apply Hi-Bonder to the nail, then Flexible Clear Gel and cure for two minutes.
4. Add two or three gel colors on the tip and cure for one minute.
5. Decorate with glitter the area where the nail meets the tip, and apply hologram nail art. Cure for 20 seconds. Overlay with Clear Builder Gel and cure for two minutes.
6. Remove the stickiness with a soaked cotton ball of Gel Cleaner. File with the Gracia 180-grit file. Finish file with the Gracia Soft Touch 220/240 file.
