Valentine's Day nails
Salon System GELLUX Nail Technician, Julie-Anne Larivière, shows you how to recreate this pretty love hearts design for clients who want to celebrate V Day – loved-up or not!

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 3
Apply two coats of GELLUX Loveheart, curing each layer. Put under the lamp for 30 seconds for LED or for two minutes with 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.
Look out for our feature all about a week in Julie-Anne’s life in the new issue of Capital Hair & Beauty magazine.
