- Now, if you cover the whole plate with a delicate shade of gel polish, apply it with a thin layer and dry for a couple of minutes in the lamp. If necessary, duplicate the layer so that the natural nail does not show through.
- If your french gel polish is as natural as possible, immediately after the base layer, proceed to filling the free edge with a white tint. To draw a graceful smile line, it is better to use a thin brush.
- If you have already covered your nails with a delicate shade, after drying in the lamp, just draw a smile.
