File Nails: Shape nails with a 220 grit side of a 180/220 file.
Remove Cuticles: Push back cuticles and scrape away the invisible cuticle. Cut excess cuticle if needed.
Buff Nails: Use a 100/180 grit buffer to create roughness for better adhesion. Use 100 grit for normal nails, 180 grit for thin nails.
