Christmas Sparkle Nails Step by Step
Salon System nail expert Julie-Anne has created a Christmas inspired nail step by step using the NEW GELLUX Star Attraction Collection.
Step One
File the nails to shape, push the cuticles back with the GELLUX Cuticle HandyManicure Tool (£4.95+VAT) and gently buff the surface of the nails with a white block.
Thoroughly wipe nails with GELLUX Nail + File Cleansing Spray (£4.25+VAT) and a lint free pad. When the nails are dry, apply GELLUX Fast Bond (£5.85+VAT) and let dry for 30 seconds. Then apply one very thin layer of the GELLUX Builder Gel in LightPink (£11.95+VAT), (one thin layer then one thicker making sure to build an apex). Cure in between coats for 30 seconds.
Step Two
Next, apply two layers of GELLUX Fabulous Darling (£11.95+VAT), curing in between layers for 30 seconds.
Step Three
Then, apply a horizontal stroke of GELLUX Centre of Attention (£11.95+VAT) in the centre of each nail, cure.
Step Four
Repeat step 4 but this time using GELLUX Spotlight (£11.95+VAT).
Step Five
Dip a fine detail brush into GELLUX Purely White (£11.95+VAT) and paint some twinkles and dots where you have applied the glitter polishes, cure for 60 seconds.
Step Six
Finally, apply the GELLUX Shiny Top Coat (£11.95+VAT) and cure for 60 – 90 seconds. Next wipe the nails with GELLUX Prep + Wipe (£7.15+VAT). Wipe the nails with GELLUXPrep + Wipe (£7.10+VAT) again and apply GELLUX Nail & Cuticle Oil (£4.35+VAT).
