3. Paint three layers of Petals around the ball. Cure the gel polish for 30 Seconds LED or 2 Minutes UV.
4. Dip the ball into the Tech-Gel Glitter Base to coat your layer of petals let it settle into a small ball. Cure for 30 Seconds LED or 2 Minutes UV. Be sure to slowly turn the ball while curing or it will loose its roundness.
