Here are my best tips for LED application!
1. Prepare to apply before bed so you can avoid water for a couple hours!
2. Wash your hands (dawn is preferred), push back cuticles, buff and prep your nails with the alcohol prep pad.
3. Choose the strip that fits your nail bed by measuring it up to it. When you size the strip, choose smaller rather than bigger. Avoid applying on your skin or cuticle.
4. Heat the strip up for 2-3 seconds using low setting on hair dryer. This is my personal preference as it makes the strip more pliable.
5. Apply the strip on your nail. Press all around your nail using a rubber cuticle stick, trim with manicure scissors or clippers closest to the edge of your nail.
5. Cure once then push all around the strip again with that rubber cuticle pusher.
6. Cure for about 30 seconds (half the original time) and then file the excess in a vertical direction up to down! No sea-saw motion!
7. Avoid water! (No dishes, baths or laundry, mama!)
