PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION GUIDE
BASE COAT TIPS:
° Applying MINE tinted Base Coats such as Crimson or Royal
Blue underneath the Gold Lacquers will change the hue and
reflection underneath the gold to produce subtle color
variations.
° If you are planning on burnishing (buffing) Pewter Lacquer,
DO NOT APPLY BASE COAT. Apply the lacquer directly to
the nail.
° MINE’s Neutral Base Coat is used under most MINE
manicures. It is clear, and helps adhere the lacquer onto the
nail for long-lasting wear.
TOP COAT TIPS:
° Any MINE Top Coat can be used directly over a Base Coat
(See STYLE COMBINATION LOOKBOOK)
° There’s never going to be an “even” application of the Gold
Leaf (in terms of how it is dispersed). Some people like to
dab on the leaf, while others like to smooth it on in thin
layers. Find a method that works for you & stick with it!
° Overworking the Top Coat MAY result in the Lacquer
lifting, so be sure to get it on in a few swift strokes.
° Reapplying Crystal Top Coat every 1-2 days will maximize
wear time.
