Animal Print & French Tip Nails

Step by Step

Salon System nail expert & owner of The Nail Fairy, Caroline Roberts, showcases a wild French step-by-step using GELLUX products, which are available from wholesalers nationwide.

Step 1
Prep the nails and push back the cuticles. Shape and buff the natural nail bed with a grey and yellow buffer. Dust and wipe the nails with GELLUX Prep & Wipe, before applying a thin layer of GELLUX Fast Bond.
Step 2
Create a French tip on the thumb using GELLUX Maple Dreams Come True. Paint GELLUX Mini, Absolute Greige, over the entire index finger. Continue creating French tips: using GELLUX Be A- maize-ing for the middle finger and GELLUX Wicked Game for the little finger. Apply GELLUX Purely White to the ring finger, creating a diagonal French tip. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 3
Using Maple Dreams Come True and Wicked Game with a fine liner brush, paint two curved lines above the diagonal French tip on the ring finger. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 4
Create leopard print and cow print nail art on the ring finger using GELLUX Black Onyx. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 5
Using a liner brush, paint a thin line of GELLUX Steal The Show along the edge of the white French tip on the ring finger. Use a dotting tool to also apply the shade to the leopard print art on the nail. Paint zebra stripes on the index finger using Black Onyx. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 6
For a glossy finish, GELLUX Shiny Top Coat was applied and cured for 60 seconds. Wipe the sticky residue with Prep & Wipe, before applying cuticle oil to finish.
