Note: Do not re-dip the brush. The bead created in the previous step should be large enough to coat the entire nail. Sealing the edge of the nail first eliminate product build-up during service and provides a perfect seal, even on the shortest nails. Placing the brush in the centre of the nail first, eliminates flooding the cuticle line with polish, and provides precise application and coverage. Using left side of brush, apply colour over left side of nail, following contour of sidewall as closely as possible from cuticle line to free edge.

With the flattened brush, colour a thin line along the free edge of the nail to seal and ensure complete coverage. Place bead in centre of nail and glide it down to the free edge. Lift brush up, angle finger down and ease brush towards the cuticle line, putting slight pressure on brush. Glide brush towards free edge to complete centre coverage. Using right side of brush, apply colour over right side of nail, following contour of sidewall as closely as possible from cuticle line to free edge.
