2. Apply a moderately thin coat of Trilite from the apex to the end of the form. Cure for two minutes.


3. Apply desired colored gel at the smile line (Merlot is used in picture). Do not cure yet.



4. Dab on two other gel colors of your choice (Bare and Hot Pink are used here). Again, do not cure yet.


5. Using a small pointed brush, drag the Merlot into the other gel colors with a light touch. It does not have to be exact. Do not cure yet.
