Then the marigold degreased, covered with base and dried under the lamp for no more than two minutes. Color shellac is applied to the plates and the nails in the lamp are dried again. To get a more intense shade, you need to make a double layer of shellac, each of which requires a separate drying. The final stage is considered to be the fixation of special stencils, they are placed on the plate for the decoration of the smile zone. The stencil-free area is colored in a different tone and dried in the lamp. In the end the top is applied and the last drying is carried out.
