STEPS
Apply two coats of black gel polish & fully cure both layers.
Apply matte top coat & cure.
Apply white alcohol ink along the length of the nail at a diagonal.
Disperse it across the nail tip using acetone to give it a cloudy effect.
Apply top coat to lock in the design & cure. Now cover the entire nail with an ombré created using blue, purple and green jelly glass gel & fully cure.
Dab a little holographic/ iridescent chrome powder onto the cured product.
Apply one coat of silver cat eye gel & move the particles away from the central design using a magnet, then cure. Next, top coat the design & cure.
Take white gel paint & use a dotting tool to place random small dots on the nail. Then use a striper brush to drag the paint to create stars.
Mix top coat with white gel paint & use a larger dotting tool to create a ‘halo effect’ around the stars. Fully cure & apply top coat to complete the design.
