Step 1:
  • Select nails and trim them to fit onto own fingernails.
  • Trim the sides of the nail if it is jutting out of your nail diameter.
Step 2:
  • Buff the nails only at sides and front to smoothen out the edges.
  • File the nails in a left to right notion.
  • Do not rub the file on the surface to prevent scratching.


Step 3:
Ready items to be used:
  • Rubber Flower (ViVi)
  • Blings (White - 5, Black - 5, Pink - 9) *Size is up to you
  • Pink Nail Chain
  • Tweezer Nip

Step 4:
  • Apply a top coat layer to the area to secure flower (ViVi).
  • Hold the flower down onto the nail for about 20 seconds.
Step 5:
  • Apply top coat onto the edge of the inner french manicure line.
  • Arrange the 5 white blings along the divider.
  • Use Tweezer nip to move the blings into position.
  • Follow process till you finish lines of White, Pink and Black.
Step 6:
  • Measure the length of pink chain needed to connect in the position.
  • Trim the chain to that size.
  • Apply top coat and follow same instructions to attach the chain.
Step 7:
