Super-Charged Neon French
Colour focus, Step by Step
Inspired by AW18 trends, Salon System nail expert, Karen Louise, creates a super-charged, neon-inspired French using Gellux…
Step 1
Prepare nail filing to shape and gently buffing the top of the nail plate. Remove excess dust then clean with Gellux Prep & Wipe. Apply Gellux Fast Bond, allowing 60 seconds to dry.
Apply a thin layer of Gellux Base/Top to each nail, being sure to cap the free edge. Cure for 30 seconds using the Gellux Express LED Lamp.
Step 2
Drop a small amount of Gellux Lime Sorbet and Gellux Midnight Satin onto a piece of silver foil. Firstly, using Lime Sorbet with a striping brush, create a French tip on the index and pinky finger. Paint a slightly larger line for an exaggerated effect. Cure.
Step 3
Using Midnight Satin, create a smaller line on the edge of the nails with a striping brush. Be sure to cap the free edge. Cure
Step 4
Using Lime Sorbet, fill a third of the nail leaving the half-moon clear and the cuticle area of the nail. Cure.
Step 5
On the middle finger and thumb, polish the whole nail using Midnight Satin then cure. Repeat, making sure to cap the free edge of the nail. Cure.
Using Midnight Satin, draw a line at the base of the half-moon on the ring finger. Cure.
Step 7
Seal with Gellux Clear Base andTop coat. Cap the free edge and cure. Wipe tacky layer with Gellux Prep + Wipe then apply Naillux Cuticle Oil.
