NSI do a dvd that shows you exactly how to apply it, give them a ring or maybe one of the girls on here has got a spare one.

I love the dried flowers but find the crushed shell a nightmare to work with although it looks beautiful when finished, i have tried applying adhesive to the nail tip and dipping it in the shell and tried getting a ball of L&P and rolling it in the shell, either way i make a hash of it.lol

Zoe are you going to apply it with gel or L&P?

 

[ZOE!]

L+P, but if its a nightmare then ill leave it for now, is the crushed flowers good to do? How do you do it?

 

[scattyfox]

It's probably me making a hash of it as plenty of the others do beautiful nails with it, the flowers are easy i apply to the tip with adehsive and overlay with L&P.

simple and stunning.

You can apply them after your l&p application, Just buff over nail secure flower with a little resin and apply a couple of coats of top coat.

There is step by steps on the nsi site
