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 the Base and let it cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp.

STEP 2 - APPLY A SHEER COLOUR

Choose a gel polish colour with a sheer finish to use as a base colour. Gel polish colours with a sheer finish will not completely cover your nails, but rather leave a glow of colour. 388 Rosewater Pink and 339 Ballerina Pink are the perfect colours when you want to 'blur' the nail plate. Apply the colour to all nails and let it cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp.

STEP 3 - APPLYING FRENCH TIPS

Take a bit of 266 Baby Blue on your Fine Liner Brush and draw a diagonal line downwards. Do the same from the other side of the nail, making sure the free edge of the natural nail is completely covered. This is an easy way to create a neat smile line.

STEP 4 - FINISH FRENCH TIPS

Now take the brush from the bottle and stroke it off at the neck. Fill in the empty part of your French tip with this and let it cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp. 

Repeat this step on all nails and use different colours if desired.

STEP 5 - CREATE FLOWER NAIL ART

Now take a little of 299 Coco White on your Dotting Tool and make small dots around the centre to form the petals. Let this cure again for 60 seconds under the LED lamp. Meanwhile, clean your Dotting Tool with a clean dry Nail Wipe.

STEP 6 - FINISH FLOWER NAIL ART

Take a bit of 287 Joyous Yellow on your Dotting Tool and gently push it onto the nail to make a small round dot. This will be the centre of your flower. Let this cure in the LED lamp for 60 seconds.

Repeat this step on all nails.

STEP 7 - APPLY TOP COAT

Apply a layer of Shine top coat and let it cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp. After this, take off the sticky residue with a Nail Wipe with Cleaner.
