Let's paint the town orange! Get ready for King's Day with a true eye-catcher: King's Day Swirl nail art! This royal creation brings the festive atmosphere of the Dutch King's Day to life on your nails. Below, we show you how to apply this design yourself.

Start by doing the regular nail prep routine and apply your favourite base coat. Finish off this look with Top Coat.

Step 1 - Apply a sheer colour

Begin by applying two coats of 388 Rosewater Pink as the base layer on your nails. Cure each layer for 60 seconds under the LED lamp.

Step 2 - Create a swirl

Take a little 301 Azure Blue on your Fine Liner Brush and use the tip of your brush to draw a swirling line from the top of your nail to your cuticle. Thicken the beginning of the line a little. Let this cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp. In the meantime, clean your Fine Liner Brush.
