Today was my first day using this product. I chose powder Color cucumber it is rather transparent, So I applied the activator and instantly dipped into the cucumber powder multiple times to put on a heavy coat and that seemed to put a nice cover on my nails. I’m still learning, but very happy with the product.
Are steps 10 to 13 necessary?
