Gemma Dawson

Desperately unhappy in her career working at a university during her PhD in statistical analysis,” Gemma Dawson retrained in nails. “Whether painting my own and attempting some DIY nail art or having them done in salon, I soon discovered I loved nails,” smiles Gemma. “I’ve now found the competition circuit and Im fascinated by what can be created on nails. It merges two areas that I already love; craft and nails, so I’ve decided that my long-term goal is to compete, hence my love to busilding 3D figurines in nail products.”

Decide on the finish you require such as whether to top coat or not. Take several photos at this stage to see how it looks without top coat. Depending on the type of gel paints used, you may not need to top coat at all.
