Itsy-Bitsy Top Coat

Application

Prepare your nails. Remove any existing nail polish and ensure your nails are clean, dry and free from any oils, moisture or residue. Trim, shape and buff your nails, gently push back the cuticles and apply a base coat.

Application. Shake the bottle before use, open the bottle and wipe off any excess polish from the brush on the inner rim. Start at the base of your nail near the cuticle and apply a thin layer of polish in smooth strokes, moving towards the tip of your nail. Apply nail polish in thin coats and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next, this will make application easier and will help your nail polish dry faster and wear longer.

Seal the free edge after each coat. Gently swipe the brush along the free edge of your nail, covering the exposed tip. Repeat after each coat of nail polish and when you apply the top coat. Sealing the free edge provides extra protection to the vulnerable areas and will help to reinforce the tips, giving your manicure a longer lifespan. If you have longer nails, you can also seal the sides of your nails.

Cleanup. If you accidentally get nail polish on your skin or cuticles, dip a small brush into the nail polish remover and gently remove the excess polish, carefully sweeping the brush along the edges of your nails to remove any nail polish excess. 

Top coat. Once the final coat of your nail polish has dried, apply a thin layer of top coat to protect your manicure. Seal the free edge during this step. A top coat is an important step as it not only adds a glossy and smooth finish but also creates a durable barrier that extends the lifespan of your manicure. You can reapply a fresh layer of top coat every other day to help maintain the longevity and appearance of your manicure.

Clean up the neck of the bottle. Clean up the neck of the bottle and close the bottle tightly to prevent nail polish from drying out.

Allow the nails to dry completely. Remember to avoid contact with water or any other activities that may smudge or damage the polish until it is fully dry.

 

Storage

Store in a dry cool place, away from the light. Keep the bottles upright and tightly sealed to avoid leaking and thickening. In case of thickening use nail polish thinner and never use acetone or nail polish remover as they will ruin the nail polish. Some separation and settling may happen over time, shake the bottles regularly to prevent this. 

Warning

Keep away from heat or flame. Keep out of reach of childen. Keep away from eyes. For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
