Step 1
Prepare the nails for a Gellux application. Cleanse nails with Gellux Prep + Wipe. Apply Gellux Fast Bond and allow to dry. Apply Gellux Easy Off Base Coat, making sure you cap the edges and cure.
Starting with the pinky finger, apply a thin coat of Gellux Sugar Addiction down half the nail, then Gellux Gossip Girl down the other half so they blend together in the middle.
For the ring finger, using Gellux Gossip Girl down one side of the nail and then Gellux Girlfriends down the other half, again blending the colours in the middle.
For the middle finger, using Gellux Girlfriends down one half of the nail and then Gellux Boy Trouble down the other side, again blending the two colours together.
For the index finger, using Gellux Boy Trouble down one side of the finger, then using Gellux BFF down the other half and blending the two together.
On the thumb, use Gellux BFF down one side of the finger, then using Gellux Girlfriends down the other half again blending the colours together down the middle.
When you are happy with the blend, cure.

Repeat the previous steps to deepen the colours.
Step 3
Using Gellux Black Onyx, draw a cocktail glass on the ring finger. Cure.
Step 4
Inside the cocktail glass, create a colourful cocktail by applying a small dab of Gellux Sugar Addiction to the bottom of the glass, and then Gellux Boy Trouble to the top. Ombre together, and cure.
Step 5
Using Gellux Boy Trouble, create an orange slice on the middle finger and pinky, also a small orange slice to decorate the glass. Cure.
