Application:

1. Perform manicure and standard nail preparation.
2. Apply SCOTCH BASE and a base or colour layer for levelling.
3. Apply a no-wipe top coat (DARK camouflage tops can be used) and cure for 30 seconds.
4. Rub the powder into the nail using a bare finger or sponge.
5. Remove excess powder with a soft, fine brush.
6. Lightly file or buff the nail tip to improve adhesion.
7. Apply a thin layer of SCOTCH BASE to the lower half of the nail and seal the free edge, cure for 60 seconds.
8. Finish with a no-wipe top coat, sealing the free edge again, and cure for 90 seconds.

Working notes:

• Do not cure the top coat for more than 30 seconds before applying the powder
• Avoid using gloves during application, as they may cause fine scratches
• If adhesion is weak, degrease the nail and apply the powder quickly, or reduce curing time
• Can be applied over colour or over a base/gel layer after removing the sticky layer
• Use only soft brushes to avoid scratching the surface
• On sharp nail shapes or very active clients, wear time may be reduced
