Love letters for Valentine’s Day
Seasonal & Occasions, Step by Step
Salon System nail expert & owner of Golden Triangle Nails, Natalie Farrow, has created this Valentine’s Day love letter nail design, using shades from GELLUX.
GELLUX products are available from wholesalers nationwide.
Step 1
Prep the nails. File to shape, push back the cuticle and buff the nail plate. Cleanse nails with GELLUX Prep + Wipe and apply two coats of GELLUX Builder Gel in Rose Pink as a base, curing for 60 seconds between each layer.
Step 2
Using a liner art brush, apply GELLUX Gel Polish in Maraschino Cherry, creating a swirl design. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 3
For the second swirl, take a thinner liner art brush and apply GELLUX Gel Polish in Hawaii Hibiscus, making the swirls different thicknesses.
Step 4
For the third swirl, following the same shape, use GELLUX Gel Polish in Cherry Blossom. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 5
For the fourth swirl, apply GELLUX Gel Polish in Pink Champagne. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 6
Use GELLUX Hawaii Hibiscus to fill in the small gap next to the swirls and cure.
Step 7
Apply GELLUX Gel Polish in Purely White in a rectangular shape, to form the envelope. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 8
Use GELLUX Gel Polish in Black Onyx to outline the envelope. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 9
Using a dotting tool, apply two dots close together near the edge of the envelope using GELLUX Maraschino Cherry. Then, use a thin art liner brush to drag the dots down, creating a tiny heart. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 10
For a glossy finish, apply GELLUX Super Shiny Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds. Wipe the sticky residue with GELLUX Prep + Wipe, before applying cuticle oil to finish.
