    Apply a thin coat of Bubble Bath to the nail. Allow to dry for 1-2 minutes. Repeat for coverage.

    Apply Alpine Snow with the corner of the brush from the cuticle line in a triangle to the tip of the nail and fill in. If needed use a detail brush and Alpine Snow to refine the perimeter or any low spots. Allow to dry for 2-3 minutes.
