What do you need?

The basics such as the Prep Booster, polishing block, a LED lamp, a Base Coat and a Top Coat

270 Florida Pink

108 Lady in Red

121 French Pink

Detail Brush

Prep your nails

Prepare your nails by filing them into the desired shape. Remove the natural shine from your nails with the polishing block. Use the Cleaner to clean and degrease your nails. Apply the Prep Booster and let it air dry for 30 seconds.

Step 1 – Apply Base Coat

Apply your favourite base coat and let it cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp.

Step 2 – Base Colour

Apply two layers of 121 French Pink to the entire nail. Let each layer cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp.

Step 3 – Applying Swirls

Take a small amount of 270 Florida Pink on your Detail Brush and with the tip of your brush, draw a swirling line from the top of your nail to your cuticle. Thicken the beginning of the line a bit. Let this cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp. In the meantime, make sure to clean your Detail Brush with cleaner.

Step 4 – More Swirls

Now take a small amount of 108 Lady in Red and repeat step 2. Remember to cure each swirl line under the LED lamp and clean your brush after applying each colour.

Step 5 – Apply Stickers

Want to give your manicure an extra lovely touch? Choose one or more stickers and carefully remove them from the sticker sheet. Place the sticker on the nail and press it gently with your finger. This can also be done with an Orange Woodstick or Dotting Tool.

Step 6 – Apply Top Coat

Apply one of our Top Coats to the entire nail and let it cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp. Did you use the Shine Top Coat? Then remove the sticky layer with the Cleaner.

We are definitely IN LOVE with this design. Tag @pinkgellac in your Instagram post and who knows, you might see your nails featured on our Instagram Stories.

Uncovered8 Marble

Start with your usual nail prep routine and apply your favourite base coat. Then you apply the 419 Marshmallow Nude and cure it for 60 seconds.

Once that's done, apply a layer of Blooming Gel and don't cure it. Grab a Flat Brush and mix the 422 Espresso Bean, 420 Sugared Cinnamon and 421 Mocha Brown.

Then you can create the marble effect by making adding the mix over the nail. Once you're satisfied with the result cure it for 60 seconds. Last but not least, end with your favourite top coat.
