- High-Gloss Top Coat
- UV/LED Curing Lamp
- Prep nails: Clean, file, buff, and apply a dehydrator for optimal adhesion.
- Apply a nude base coat and cure. Follow with 1-2 thin coats of your chosen base color (e.g., nude or light gray), curing each layer completely.
- Carefully apply nail striping tape to create your desired Chevron pattern. Ensure strips are straight, symmetrical, and firmly pressed down to prevent bleed-through.
- Paint over the taped areas with your contrasting color (e.g., classic black). Apply thin, even coats and cure fully.
- Gently remove the striping tape *immediately after* curing the last color layer for the cleanest lines. Clean up any minor imperfections with a fine brush dipped in acetone.
- Apply a high-gloss, no-wipe top coat evenly across all nails, ensuring you cap the free edge, and cure for a durable, photo-real finish.
Expert Tip
For truly photo-real results, ensure your striping tape is pressed down firmly to prevent bleed-through, and remove it immediately after curing the accent color for the sharpest, cleanest Chevron lines possible.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid prolonged water exposure for the first 24 hours after application to allow the polish to fully set.
- ✓Apply a nourishing hand cream and cuticle oil to keep hands and nails healthy and hydrated.
- ✓Refrain from picking or peeling the polish, as this can damage the natural nail plate.
- ✓Gently file any snags on the free edge with a fine-grit file, always filing in one direction.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff the top coat of each nail to break the seal, allowing acetone to penetrate.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in 100% pure acetone, place them directly on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick. Do not force or peel, re-soak if necessary.
