Trial and error but loved the finished look
There are some tricks to this product that the instruction manual does not tell you. After a little trial and error, perfection. So... for me, I followed the instructions to a ”T” however, after applying the activator and letting it dry all the way after lightly it was gummy. I let it dry way over the 30 secs. So what I did was apply the activator between the layers of the color dip, let the activator completely dry before adding the base liquid for the next dip. So, file nail, removing the shine, apply the base liquid and then the clear powder, allow to dry for the 30 secs, brush off excess powder, apply the activator, allow it to dry for 2mins, then move on to your next dip (wether it be another color, glitter or clear) apply the activator, let dry, file and the do the top coat. This is what worked for me so that under your filing it won't be gummy. I urge everyone to experiment on a nail and see what work for you. Have fun. If done right, you'll love it in the end♥️
