STEPS

Start with a base of your favorite shade of pink gel polish and cure, depending on the gel that you’re using, you may need a few coats to get full opacity.

Apply a layer of foil gel and cure.

Gently wipe off the back of your transfer foil with 99% IPA, prior to using the foil (I’m using a kaleidoscopic silver foil). Then press the foil onto the nail in a touch-and-go motion across the entire surface. Apply top coat and cure.

Create a Barbie-inspired ‘B’ design. Once you’re happy with it, sprinkle acrylic powder over it.

Saturate with gel paint and cure. Then remove excess powder.

To complete the design, place jewelry gel where you want your crystal embellishment. This will elevate the overall look of the design. Add your crystal and cure.
