Gently blend the two colours with feather light brush stokes using the fine brush from the Artist Series nail art brush set.
Step 4
Add a band if OPI GelColor in Orange You A Rock Star.

Repeat the steps above for a second colour coat.

Once happy with the depth of colour and effect, apply OPI GelColor Top Coat. Cure for 30 seconds. Wipe thoroughly with OPI Nas 99 and a Lint Free Wipe. Apply ProSpa Nail and Cuticle oil to the Cuticle and gently massage in to finish.
