Harden nail strips done at home! I’ve been doing this on and off for 3 years now and I love it! Start: by Prepping the nails by cutting to length and then buffing them all. Apply the alcohol pad that the kit comes with then I use a nail hydrator not in kit but recommend it so all oils are removed and the strips really stick! Pick out he proper size strip for each nail, then cut down to top of real nail, you can go longer but I like short nails. Cure them under the lamp (30-60 secs) and then file to desired shape. Next important step, take their gloss apply it to all nails and cure again for 60 secs! Mine last about 3-4 weeks! Sometimes I have to fix one or two in between. And i like to wear gloves when doing dishes LTKBeauty
