Step 0: this step can be BEFORE or AFTER you do your character 💖 apply TRANSFER FOIL GEL to desired nail that you plan on adding the character to. Cure it, this will help you character adhere to the nail.

Step 1 : polish a layer of peel off latex tape about 1/2 an inch on all sides of the chosen image, let air dry. must be clear to see image underneath

Step 2: polish peel off Base gel (clear) over chosen image but not to the edge of the latex tape!(keep a gap between them ITS VERY IMPORTANT!!
CURE !! under a LAMP PREFERABLY A PORTABLE UV LAMP

Step 3: Begin Adding Color Gel polish curing in between layers/sections or as needed ( this helps save you work in case you need to wipe a mistake away !!)
