🔑 KEY TECHNIQUE TIPS:
1. Paint gel colours in the mould BEFORE filling with builder gel - this ensures full polymerisation
2. Flash cure between layers to prevent gel from moving or shrinking
3. Use hard builder gel, not soft products, for 3D elements
4. Trim excess carefully with sharp cuticle scissors
5. Wear gloves when handling uncured 3D pieces to prevent skin contact
6. Use top coat as "glue" to attach 3D elements
7. Flash cure while pressing the snake pieces to secure them
8. Apply glossy top coat only to the snake, matte to the rest

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:
This method requires painting the mould first, then filling with builder gel. DO NOT polymerise gel in the mould then flip it onto the nail - the product underneath will not cure properly, which can cause allergies. Always ensure full polymerisation by curing with the lamp hitting the product from the top.
