A Slice Of Summer
Spring/Summer, Step by Step
Nail Harmony’s dean of education, Vu Nguyen, reveals this fun, fresh nail art design for summer using the Gelish Make A Splash collection, available in the UK via www.nailharmonyuk.com
“My inspiration for the nail art was the fun, eye-catching atmosphere of summer time,” Vu comments. “From staying cool at pool parties to putting your toes in the sand at the beach, summer is my favourite season.”
Key shades:
Cellophane Coat
Feeling Swim-sical
Limonade in the Shade
Step 1
After completing Gelish nail prep, apply a thin coat of LIMÓNADE IN THE SHADE making sure to cap the free edge. Cure for 30 seconds in the 18G LED Light. Repeat for full coverage.
Step 2
Mix FEELING SWIM-SICAL and Limónade In The Shade to achieve a dark green shade and paint a border around the nail. Cure for 30 seconds.
Step 3
With a MINI STRIPER BRUSH and ARCTIC FREEZE, paint an outline around Limónade In The Shade and place a dot on the centre of the nail. Do not cure.
Step 4
Using Arctic Freeze and the Mini Striper Brush, create thin diagonal lines that connect
in the centre and add small dots in these segments. Cure for 30 seconds.
Apply a thin coat of CELLOPHANE COAT, making sure to cap the free edge and cure for 30 seconds.
Apply a thin coat of TOP IT OFF Sealer Gel to the entire nail making sure to cap the free edge and cure for 30 seconds. With NAIL SURFACE CLEANSE and WIPE IT OFF lint-free wipes, cleanse the inhibition layer of the nail. Finish the look by massaging NOURISH Cuticle Oil into the skin surrounding the nail plate.
