STEPS
Follow application steps for Rock Hard Extension.
Apply a thin coat of Radiate My Love, making sure to cap the free edge. Cure for 30 seconds in LED light or 2-minutes in UV. Repeat.
Transfer ‘Oil Slick’ foil diagonally across the tip of the nail. Be sure to firmly press foil onto the nail to ensure adhesion.
Create a dark oil spill effect decal by applying Colour Gloss in Torque It! on wax paper & creating voids or holes. Allow the product to sit for a moment while the holes become bigger as the gel settles. Assist the design by using a marbling tool to direct the gel to where you want it to go. Once desired design is achieved, cure for 30-seconds in an LED light or 2-minutes under UV.
Use Sani Tongs to peel decal from wax paper & apply to the foiled area, trimming the edges to fit the nail.
Apply Glossing Gel over the entire nail & cure for 30-seconds in an LED lamp or 2-minutes under UV. Apply a second coat of Glossing Gel & cure for 30-seconds in LED or 2-minutes under UV.
Use Nail Surface Cleanser & a lint-free wipe to cleanse the inhibition layer of the nail.
Massage one drop of Revive Cuticle Oil into the skin surrounding the nail plate, and enjoy the finished look.
