    Unscrew the bottle cap of the Orange nail polish shade C245, holding the brush applicator loaded with pink glitter gel steady to prepare for application.

    Tip: Keep a steady grip on the bottle to prevent any accidental spills while opening.
  2. 2Apply First Coat of Pink Glitter Gel

    Apply the first thin layer of Orange C245 pink glitter gel onto the tip and upper half of the nail plate, ensuring a light and even distribution.

    Tip: Keep the first layer thin to avoid a bulky buildup and ensure proper curing.
  3. 3Smooth Out the Glitter Layer

    Smooth out the pink glitter gel layer evenly across the nail surface using gentle motions with the brush bristles to disperse the sparkles uniformly.

    Tip: Lightly glide the brush over the surface so the glitter pieces dont bunch up in one spot.
  4. 4Apply Second Glitter Layer

    Apply a second layer of C245 pink glitter gel to intensify the glitter opacity and coverage across the nail plate for a denser, more vibrant look.

    Tip: Layering allows you to build up depth and sparkle density without making the gel coat overly thick.

    Tip: Use the edge of the brush to nudge any stray glitter flecks away from the skin.
