Crocodile print nails

Crocodile Nails Final Image

Step by Step

Salon System Gellux expert, Julie-Anne Larivière, shows how to incorporate one of the hottest trends of the moment into a nail design – crocodile print.

Step 1
Prepare all the nails and wipe over with the Salon System Gellux Prep + Wipe. Apply the Gellux Fast Bond and let dry for 30 seconds. Then apply the Gellux Cover Pink Base Coat and cure for 30 seconds. Next, apply two layers of Salon System Gellux in Daisy Chain, curing between each layer.
Step 2
Then, start to paint random patches of Salon System Gellux in Goldmine on each nail and cure.
Step 3
Apply a very thin layer of Gellux Easy Off Base Coat (do not substitute this, as it will not work). Then, dip a medium liner in Salon System Gellux in Rush Hour and create the crocodile scales. Leave a couple of millimetres between each scale to allow room for the gel to bloom. Cure for 30 seconds.
Step 4
Repeat the last step for all nails, making sure to remember to leave space between the scales to bloom and cure one finger at a time.
Step 5
Now dip a fine brush or medium liner in Salon System Gellux in Gold Rush and outline the edges of the crocodile patches, cure again.
Step 6
Finally, apply the Gellux Mirror Glaze Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds. Next, wipe the nails with Gellux Prep+Wipe and Gellux Nail & Cuticle Oil.
