How to Use After Hours Prepare the Nail: Clean the nail plate, push back and remove excess cuticle, buff lightly, and wipe clean with alcohol. Base Coat: Apply a base gel like Nail Thoughts Builder Base and cure (LED: 30s / UV: 60s). Add an apex for added strength if needed. Color Application: Apply NT-52 After Hours in thin, even coats and cure between each layer. Usually, one layer is enough for full coverage. Top Coat: Finish with a top coat gel and cure to seal the color.
