Application tips

Frost Effect

Create any gel polish, gel, acrylic gel, or acrylic styling.
Apply a no-wipe top coat, but do not cure it.
Sprinkle the powder evenly over the wet layer of the top coat (e.g. using a Mixing Tool) so the Mermaid effect blends uniformly with the surface.
Cure in the lamp for 60 seconds — a slightly longer curing time ensures durability.
After curing, remove excess particles with a soft brush.
Do not apply an additional layer of top coat, as this may dull the effect.

Smooth Effect

Create any gel polish, gel, acrylic gel, or acrylic styling.
After curing the second colour layer, rub the Mermaid effect into the sticky layer
or apply a dedicated Effect Base, cure it for 30 seconds in a Multi LED lamp, and rub the powder into its sticky layer.
Remove excess particles with a soft brush.
Apply one of the Indigo gel polish top coats (e.g. Wet Look), carefully sealing the free edge.
Cure for 30–60 seconds in a Multi LED lamp.
Wait about 1 minute for the top to cool down — applying care products too quickly may reduce the shine.
If required, remove the dispersion layer using Shea Super Shine Cleaner.
Finally, polish the nails with a dry, lint-free cotton pad until you hear a characteristic squeaking sound.
