Step 1
Prep the nail using a 180-grit file to remove the shine from the nail plate. Apply Glitterbels Dehydrator followed by Acid-free Primer, and leave to air-dry for two minutes.
Step 2
Crop and fit the nail form according to the shape of the natural nail. Apply a thin layer of Glitterbels Core Acrylic Powder in Glass Slippers (clear).
Step 3
Extend the nail using Glitterbels Core Acrylic Powder in Sugared Almond, then using a 180-grit file, shape the smile line.
Step 4
On the free edge, apply Glitterbels Coloured Acrylic Powder in Dragon Fruit and Queen Bee.

Use an E-file to remove the bulk to create an even surface.
Step 6
File into shape using a 180-grit file.
