STEPS

After proper nail prep, apply a thin coat of LED Bonding Gel & cure for 5-seconds in LED light.

Apply Colour Gloss Bride gel polish & cure 30-seconds. Repeat for 2nd coat.

Use the paper backing from a nail form & apply (a selection of brightly colored gel polishes) by dabbing the brush against the paper & spreading the color thin. Wait 3-minutes. The paper is slick so the gel polish will start to move & separate creating a paint splattered look.

Create a series of splatters by using a marbling tool to create & extend the lines. When the look is achieved, cure 30-seconds.

Remove the splattered art from the form with Sani Tongs or tweezers & lay them over the nail. Press in place & trim with scissors or nippers.
