Begin by properly prepping the natural nail.  Apply a tip. Cut and blend.

Step 3: Continue Step 2 until the swirl design is complete. Cure for 90 seconds. Apply Balance Builder Clear or Blush as a second layer of gel to sandwich the design. Cure for another 90 seconds.

Step 4: After eremoving the tacky dispersion layer with NSI Cleanse, shape and buff the nail.

Step 5: Apply NSI Glaze 'n Go for a permanent high-gloss shine over the entire surface of the nail. Cure for 90 seconds. There is no dispersion layer to remove.
