My steps have been to build the base layers first
After the base, I used an 80/20 water-and-alcohol mix with a small amount of Kiwi Parade Gloss
Then I horsehair brushed the polish and repeated the process
For the picture, I only buffed it using an old 100% cotton shirt

i feel like there is to many small scratches i used a lighter once but i got scared i was gonna melt it off even thought i didnt hold it for to long

i got these cheap ones for academy but i can’t get a polish on them give your best advice, technique, fav polish

seems easy enough but i’m wondering if i do it at academy or is it a test to see if we read the handbook before academy and we do it at home?

the paper states items below are mandatory but it seems to be a female hat when i have 2 uniform caps already
but i will order just incase

only been out a month and tryna catch people in traffic over IG post😭
