- **Meticulous Nail Prep:** Shape nails, gently buff, push back and trim cuticles, then cleanse the nail plate thoroughly with alcohol to ensure perfect adhesion.
- **Thin Base Coat Application:** Apply an extremely thin, even layer of gel base coat, ensuring full coverage and sealing the free edge. Cure under LED/UV lamp.
- **Two Flawless Pink Coats:** Apply the first thin layer of your chosen soft pink gel polish, making sure it's smooth and streak-free. Cure. Repeat with a second thin layer for opaque, rich color, then cure again.
- **Glass-like Top Coat:** Apply a generous yet perfectly even layer of high-gloss, no-wipe top coat, sealing all edges. This is crucial for the 'photo-real' shine. Cure for the recommended time.
- **Hydration & Finish:** Once cured, the no-wipe top coat needs no cleansing. Apply nourishing cuticle oil and a hydrating hand cream to complete your elegant manicure.
