Seasonal & Occasions, Step by Step

Salon System nail expert, Julie Anne Larivière, has created this look for all for those going back to business this September…

Step 1
Prepare the nails and clean with Gellux Prep & Wipe, and apply Gellux Fast Bond. Then apply Gellux Easy Off Base Coat, then cure for 30 seconds using the Gellux Express LED Lamp. Paint the index, ring and little finger with two layers of Gellux Purely White, curing in between coats. Paint the middle finger with one layer of Gellux Bare Necessities, cure.
Step 2
Using a detail brush and Gellux Serengeti Sunrise, create a circle on the index finger. Apply Gellux Purely White to the middle finger leaving a nude half-moon. Then dip a detail brush into Gellux Toucan Tango and paint the letters 'B' and 'A' on the ring finger and 'C' and 'K' on the little. Cure all fingers.
Step 3
Fill in the circle on the index finger with a thin coat of Gellux Lets Go Buffalo then dip a detail brush into Gellux Serengeti Sunrise to create the bells. Create the 'V' shape tip on the middle finger with Wild Side. Then dip a detail brush into Gellux Jungle Trail and paint the letter 'T' on the ring finger and 'O' on the little. Cure all fingers.
Step 4
Using a detail brush again dipped in Gellux Jungle Trail, add in the dots and hands to create the clock and add small triangles on the bottom of the circle to create the legs. With Wild Side create the shirt collar and tie on the middle finger. Then use Gellux Later Alligator to paint the letters 'scHo' on the ring finger and 'oL' on the little. Cure all fingers.
Step 5
Finally, dip your brush into Gellux Jungle Train and all the last details on the index finger, then into Gellux Purely White to create the white trim on the cardigan and stripes on the tie on the middle finger. Dip a small dotting tool into Wild Side and add the dots on the ring and little fingers and then repeat using Gellux Toucan Tango. Cure all nails. Apply a thin layer of Gellux Shiny Top Coat and then cure. Wipe clean with Prep&Wipe and apply NailLUX oil.
