How do you create that fab french manicure look and not use white tips?
Really easy with Dashing Diva French wrap system.

Here is how we do it, again other may do it differently but this works for us. We do this in a 10 finger rotation, each step on all 10 fingers. This cuts down the overuse of activator.

  1. PREP nails.
  2. Apply tips, trim to required length and blend.
  3. apply a coat of resin. let it air dry, it should only be a thin layer.
  4. apply your Dashing Diva as per instruction.
  5. lightly buff to remove the shine from the DD.
  6. dust off the nail.
  7. apply fiberglass or Silk.
  8. saturate fabric (fiberglass/Silk) with resin, let the resin soak in.
  9. let this air dry it wont take long.
  10. apply stress strip, press on the nail to locate you stress area, it will be whitish when you press on the free edge.
  11. saturate the stress strip and the previous applied whole fabric covering.
  12. Do this once more and then activate.
  13. refine cuticle area, final shape and buff.
  14. apply the DD acrylic base and finishing top coat. Capping the free edge as you do this.
  15. Solar oil and done xxx

Maintenance : Again in a 10 finger rotation

  1. PREP
  2. Dust nails
  3. apply resin. air dry
  4. apply DD
  5. remove shine from DD
  6. dust off the nail.
  7. apply fiberglass or Silk.
  8. saturate fabric (fiberglass/Silk) with resin, let the resin soak in.
  9. let this air dry it wont take long.
  10. relocate your stress area, and apply stress strip if needed.
  11. saturate the stress strip (if applied) and/or the previous applied whole fabric covering.
  12. Do this once more and then activate.
  13. refine cuticle area, final shape and buff.
  14. apply the DD acrylic base and finishing top coat. Capping the free edge as you do this.
  15. Solar oil and done xxx
Like I said, there are other ways of doing this, but this is how we do it and we have found it to work brilliantly xxxx
