PRODUCTS USED
- Transfer Foils
- UV/LED Gel Polish in White, Natural Brown and Clear
- Fluorescent UV/LED Gel Polish in Pink and Blue
- UV/LED Gel Top Coat
STEPS
Etch and prep the nail tip. Prepare nail transfer foils in various colors.
Prepare UV/LED gel polish colors in white, natural brown and clear.
Dilute the UV/LED gel colors in clear gel to reduce the intensity of their opacity for the background.
Apply 2 coats of this color mixture onto the nail after applying UV/LED base gel. Cure each layer.
Seal the UV/LED gel polish with a clear UV/LED gel (with tacky finish) in preparation for foil transfer design.
Place transfer foils randomly on the nail tip (focusing on the center strip).
Mix fluorescent blue UV/LED gel polish with clear UV/LED gel and apply over some areas to highlight the foils. Cure.
Mix fluorescent pink UV/LED gel polish with clear UV/LED gel and apply over empty areas and where foils have been placed to enhance the design. Cure.
Seal the entire nail tip with matte UV/LED gel top coat. Cure.
Wipe off the dispersion layer after curing and the nail tip design will now have a matte finish.
Dilute white watercolor paint to create a gem in the middle of the nail. Remove excess water with a dry brush to reveal a natural outline created by the watercolor paint.
Apply another random strip diagonally with white watercolor paint.
Use the tip of your brush to extract excess water without rubbing the paint away.
Repeat this process to ensure that water is extracted, while leaving behind the imprint of the watercolor.
Apply another strip diagonally over the top section.
Use the tip of your brush to extract excess water without rubbing the paint off.
Repeat the process.
Ensure the paint is dry before sealing the entire nail with a UV/LED gel top coat for a high shine. Cure.
Apply a thick black UV/LED gel paint to outline the nail, cure for 10-15 seconds (ensure that he gel is cured yet still tacky).
Transfer gold foil onto the black UV/LED gel, which has been cured, yet is still tacky in order to receive the foil.
Enhance the design with gold glitter UV/LED gel at the top and bottom of the design. Cure and seal again with UV/LED gel top coat where necessary.

Daniel Neyra
Born in Mexico City, Daniel Neyra changed his career path into nails to try something different. “I’ve always liked nail designs & wanted to design them myself, so I moved into nails & it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In 2019 I took a course with Dafne Fernandez, who became my mentor. I fell in love with nails when I met her & got hooked. For me, to work in nails represents constancy, effort & enthusiasm. I think the secret to success is practice, study & updating skills, because everything is constantly changing, so if you don’t practice, you’ll not reach your goals.” Recently Daniel competed at Nailympia Mexico. “I’m so proud I took part, as I won first place in one of my favorite categories, Extreme Nails Poster. To enter required much research around the theme to avoid doing something out of context & it paid off.” Currently, Daniel owns the Black Magic Nails studio.
PRODUCTS USED
- Nail Forms
- Stanzy Lollipop Concealer- Acrylic Powder
- Baroque Molds
- Nail Resin
- Airbrush
STEPS
Customize two nail forms and join them together to create the necessary length you’ve chosen. Then carefully apply to the fingernail.
Sculpt an elongated almond nail plate to create the base and initial structure of the nail. Continue sculpting along the form until you have created the length you desire.
Remove the nail form and file until you have achieved a smooth and lean structure to the nail.
Take your chosen silicone molds and fill them carefully with liquid & powder beads using your brush. Wait approximately 5 minutes for the product to polymerize. Once the product has set, you can carefully pull away the structures from the mould.
Stick the structures together with nail resin and then apply to the stiletto nail.
Paint and decorate the extreme nail with your chosen colors according to the theme you’re working around. Make sure everything is perfectly fashioned and adhered before decorating. Airbrushing adds no weight to the structure, gives seamless coverage and will spray easily into tiny areas, so it’s a great choice for this type of work as it results in a better finish.
