This design looks best on classic shapes like almond, oval, or squoval (square with rounded edges) in short to medium lengths, as they highlight the precision of the dots without distraction.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Allow your nails a few hours post-cure before exposing them to excessive heat or prolonged water submersion.
- ✓Moisturize your hands and nails regularly to keep them healthy.
- ✓If any lifting occurs, do not peel; seek professional repair or removal.
- ✓Gently push back cuticles after showering to keep the nail bed neat.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently scrape off softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick. Repeat soaking if necessary, then buff gently.
