Step 1 - Applying Flexi Gel Tips.
Take your 100/180 Square Nail File and shorten the length of your natural nail. Once at its shortest length, ensure to file lightly over the top of your nail so that the base coat of Builder Gel binds well.

Step 3.
Apply a thin layer of Builder Gel to the natural nail and cure for 90 seconds under our Nail Drying Lamp.
Step 4.
Take half a pea sized amount of Flexi Gel Tips Adhesive and apply to the frosted area of each extension tip, using our Dual-Ended Adhesive Picker & Brush to ensure that the adhesive is evenly applied.
Step 5.
Apply each Flexi Gel Tip to your nails by pushing them gently against your cuticles at a 45 degree angle and then pressing them onto the nail bed, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Cure for 90 seconds.
Step 6 - The Design.
Begin your Coquettish design with a base of 'Pastel Princess' Pink Builder Gel, and cure for 90 seconds.
Step 7.
Apply the French Tip to each nail using our Nail Art Liner Brush dipped in shade 'Candlelight'. Cure for 90 seconds, add a layer of Clear Top Coat, and cure again for 30 seconds.
Step 8.
Once complete, it's time to start kissing those French tips with those flirty little bows! Using our Nail Art Liner Brush dipped in 'Satin Slipper', begin the bow design, then cure for 90 seconds.
