"Strawberry Milk base is a milky and slightly warmer-toned pink tint. This is the perfect background pink for your French tip manicure, for pops of abstract designs, rose quartz marbling, or even just a solid color! There are no rules with how you use this base coat except to have fun and get creative." -Katie

How to Use:

1. PREP: Thoroughly prepare the nail by exfoliating any dead skin and loose cuticle off the nail plate. Scratch the nail surface to remove shine. Wipe any moisture from the nail using alcohol to prepare it for your gel application.

2. BASE: Apply Nail Thoughts Tinted Builder Base Gel to the natural nail and cure under UV and/or LED lamp. Optional: Apply a second layer and build an apex for added strength, curing between layers.

3. COLOR (OPTIONAL): Apply gel color and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.

4. TOP: Apply KOKOIST Top Coat Gel and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.

Note:

• If the gel is applied very thick, it can cause an uneven nail surface or air bubbles to form leading to improper curing.
• Store out of direct light and at room temperature after each use.
• We recommend using a strong curing unit or else gel will not cure all the way through causing lifting or peeling. Follow the recommended curing times for each step.
• Be careful not to get gel onto the skin. Gel applied over the cuticle or around the eponychium area can cause lifting. Uncured gel left on the skin can cause allergic reactions to occur. Discontinue use immediately if itching, redness or swelling occurs on your skin, and contact a physician.
