Capricorn nails
Step by Step, Themed
Salon System nail expert, Karen Louise, has created a Capricorn step-by-step using GELLUX.
Step 1
Prepare the nails, file to shape, push back the cuticle and gently buff the nail plate. Brush away any dust and wipe over with GELLUX Prep + Wipe. Apply GELLUX Fast Bond and let it dry. Apply a thin coat of GELLUX Cover Easy Off Base Coat to the nails, making sure to cap the free edge and cure. Then, apply a thin coat of GELLUX Stoney Blue and cure, repeating with a second coat, again making sure to cap the edges.
Step 2
Apply a small drop of GELLUX Purely White on your palette, then using a fine detailing brush, start writing a freestyle graffiti design to each nail. Flash cure to prevent the gel from moving.
Step 3
Finish your design and fully cure once you’re happy.
Step 4
Above the I, instead of a dot, draw the Capricorn symbol above in GELLUX Purely White. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 5
Apply a small amount of GELLUX Smoke 'n' Sparkle to your palette. On the left-hand side of your letters, outline your letters to give off a 3D effect, and cure.
Step 6
Using GELLUX Dress to Impress on your thumb, place your dots in the position of the Capricorn constellation and cure for 60 seconds.
Step 7
Wipe off the excess from your brush to join the dots of the constellation then cure.
Step 8
Using your fine detailing brush and GELLUX Purely White, apply a small dot to the nail. Before curing, pull outwards to create a starry effect, then cure.
Step 9
Finally, apply the GELLUX Shiny Top Coat, making sure to cap the free edge, and cure. Wipe the nails with GELLUX Prep + Wipe and apply GELLUX Nail & Cuticle Oil.
