This will not only give your nails a more groomed appearance, but will also confess your nails to grow longer. Also use the orange stick to clean any remaining debris from unbefitting nails.

This will smooth out any imperfections and advice the color bond preferred to the nail. Wait a few minutes for the base coat to wasteland, and then apply one layer of color.
