Prepare nail and clean with GELLUX Prep + Wipe, and apply GELLUX Fast Bond. Allow to dry for 60 seconds.
Step 2
Apply GELLUX Easy Off Base Coat, then cure for 30 seconds with LED or for two minutes UV.

Step 4
Using GELLUX Lemon Sherbet, Marshmallow and Parma Violets and a fine brush, paint on love hearts in the different colours and then cure.
Step 5
Outline each heart in GELLUX Purely White, cure, add small dots and then cure again.
Step 6
Apply GELLUX Top Coat, and cure for 60 seconds with LED or three minutes with UV.
Step 7
Wipe off sticky layer with GELLUX Prep & Wipe and apply NAILLUX Cuticle Cream to moisturise the skin around the nails.
