Full Cover Nail Tips Prep
First, I take the full cover nail tips and pick out the sizes that fits my nail side wall to side wall. You do not want to go for a full cover that is too small! ALWAYS go for the full cover that is bigger and file it to fit your nail. Then I put the full cover nail tips on nail holders with nail stickies. Next, I take a nail drill and remove the shine on the top surface of the nails.
Then I take the nail drill and file the free edge just a little to make sure it is straight. I then use a lint free wipe and alcohol to clean the nails.

Gel Polish Application
After all the nails are air dried, I apply a layer of Beetles gel base coat on all of the nails. I then place them in the nail lamp for at least 60 seconds.
Next, I take the Beetles Gel polish in the color c144 and polish a layer on all of the nails except for the middle finger nail. Then I put them into the nail lamp for at least 90 seconds.
I then put a layer of Beetles Gel Polish in the color c158 on the middle finger nail and put it in the lamp to cure for 60 seconds. After it is cured, I add a layer on top of the black and a second layer on the middle finger. I put them in the lamp to cure for 90 second.
I then apply a layer of Beetles gel matte Top coat on the middle finger and regular top coat on the remaining nail. I then do a full cure in the nail lamp for at least 90 seconds.
Next, I take the nail drill and file the edges to make them look crisp and clean.
I wipe the nails with a lint free wipe.
Nail Prep
This is one of, if not the most, important steps in ANY nail set or look. I always start on clean hands. I start by using a cuticle pusher to push back my cuticles.
I take a nail drill and lightly remove the shine from the nail plates.

Next, I take alcohol on a lint free wipe and wipe off the dust that was left on the nails.
Press on Nails Application
I remove the cover on the nail stickies.
Once the nails are dry, I apply the nail stickies to all of the press on nails. I rub them to make sure they are laying flat. Next, I peel off the top cover on the nail stickies.
I take the first nail and I grab it by the tip of the nail. I apply the press on nail in place slightly under the lifted cuticle.
Next, I apply pressure to the nail bed for at least 30 seconds. I repeat the same process for the rest of the nails.
After all of the nails are on, I take some cuticle oil and rub it on my fingers.
