What is the difference in Core and Speed systems set times?

Finding the perfect consistency depends on how much liquid-to-powder is mixed. Getting a

controlled application can prevent the product from running or drying too quickly. If there is too

much liquid, press the back of the brush onto the paper towel for 1 second to remove any extra

liquid. The pearl should not have any dry powder around the edges before application. If it’s too

wet, the product will stick to the brush while pressing it into place. You should be able to press the

product perfectly into place without the product sticking to the brush, running into the cuticles, or

drying before bonding to the natural nail.
