Step 1

Apply thinly base gel and cure it depending on your product description and strength of your lamp.
Step 3
Fit the forms for gothic almond .
Step 4
Apply very thin layer of gel to create base shape of your nails. Follow straight side walls then slanted to the top of your free edge.
Step 5
Extend nail beds with a cover pink shade and build desired shape.
Step 6
File extended nail beds to give a sharp smile line. Apply a turquoise hard gel to the free edge to create base colour of the design. Follow with clear hard gel around smile line and blend it.
Step 7
Cover full free edge with clear gel and cure it for 15 seconds for LED or 30 seconds for UV and then pinch it to create desired shape. Finish in your lamp to fully cure nails.
