I started off by painting every nail (except my ring finger) with 3 coats of 
Space Cadet. On my ring finger, I started with 2 coats of 
Nebula. When it was completely dried, I placed a 
Burst Nail Guide over it, and painted one thick coat of 
Space Cadet over it. While still wet, I gently peeled off the nail guide. When everything was dried, I topped it off with 
PRO-FX - Complete 3 (top coat).
