• Do a manicure when all household chores are done. Ideally, in order to dry out completely and not deteriorate from contact with objects, the varnish needs more than 12 hours. But in order to frost and not collect fine dust for an hour.
• Whether it is a simple varnish, shellac or gel varnish, always at the beginning of the creation of a manicure, use the base, and finally apply the fixative.

Never dry your lacquer with a hair dryer, use a UV lamp or wait until the coating dries itself.
