Supplies You'll Need
- Sheer Milky White Gel Polish
- Fine-Tip Gold Metallic Gel Paint
- Non-Wipe Gloss Top Coat
- Precision Dotting Tool/Wax Pencil
- Assorted Clear Micro-Rhinestones
- LED/UV Curing Lamp
- Embellishment Gel Adhesive
How To Recreate It
- Prep nails: clean, shape, and apply gel base coat, curing thoroughly.
- Apply two thin coats of sheer milky white gel polish, curing each layer for a translucent, elegant base.
- Using a fine-tip brush and gold metallic gel paint, meticulously hand-paint intricate filigree or lace patterns onto each nail, curing after each design is complete.
- Apply a small dot of embellishment adhesive gel to strategic points within the design and carefully place clear micro-rhinestones using a wax pencil.
- Cap the entire design with a non-wipe gloss top coat, ensuring it encapsulates the embellishments without dulling their sparkle, then cure for ultimate shine and longevity.
Expert Tip
For that 'photo-real' depth, ensure your metallic lines are crisp and fine, and strategically place micro-crystals to catch light, mimicking the facets of real jewelry. A thin layer of builder gel over embellishments before the final topcoat can enhance security.
Try These Variations
- →Sapphire & Silver Majesty: Use a deep sapphire blue base with silver metallic filigree and blue-tinted crystals.
- →Rose Gold Romance: Opt for a soft blush nude base with rose gold metallic details and tiny pearl embellishments.
- →Monochrome Noir: A glossy black base with intricate white metallic lace patterns and contrasting black crystals for dramatic flair.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Wear gloves when cleaning or doing tasks involving harsh chemicals.
- ✓Moisturize hands and nails regularly to maintain skin and nail health.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails; avoid picking or excessive friction on the embellishments.
Safe Removal
- 1.Professional soak-off is highly recommended due to the detailed gel and embellishments.
- 2.Gently file the top coat and embellishments to break the seal.
- 3.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes, then gently push off softened product without force.
