Prep & Base: Shape, lightly buff, cleanse, and dehydrate. Apply base coat → cure (≈60s LED / 120s UV).
Color Base (optional): Apply 1–2 thin coats of your chosen color, curing each layer.
Apply Carve Gel: Using a fine brush, lay a thin, even layer of Carve Patterns Gel. Do not cure yet.
Carve the design: With a carving tool / fine liner, gently etch patterns (swirls, lines, relief details) into the wet gel. The viscous formula holds raised, 3D details.
Lock it in: Cure to set the carved design (≈60s LED / 120s UV).
Seal: Apply a top coat (glossy or matte), cap the free edge, and cure (≈60s LED / 120s UV).
