Odor-free application for a pleasant salon or home experience

-
Non-drying formula inside the bottle, ensuring longevity and reliability
The 10ml bottle is packed with long-lasting, richly pigmented gel color that performs beautifully with minimal effort.

Prepare the Nail: Clean the nail plate, push back and remove excess cuticle, buff lightly, and wipe clean with alcohol.
