Best Application Tips
For the best results, make sure to apply a base coat first. Then apply two coats of color. Let your nails dry for a few minutes before drawing/writing on them. Additionally, let your nails dry for five more minutes before applying a topcoat. Finally, give your nails another 15-20 minutes in order to dry completely (preferably with a nail dryer).
