  • Gel Base Coat

  • Non-Wipe Gel Top Coat

  1. Prep nails by gently pushing back cuticles, shaping, and buffing lightly. Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure.
  2. Apply one to two thin layers of the sheer nude pink gel polish, curing each layer thoroughly for a natural, even base.
  3. Using a fine liner brush and crisp white gel polish, meticulously draw the smile line on each nail tip, ensuring perfect symmetry and crispness. Cure.
  4. Apply a second, ultra-thin layer of white polish to perfect the smile line, if necessary, and cure again.
  5. Finish with a high-gloss, non-wipe gel top coat, ensuring it caps the free edge to seal the design. Cure for the recommended time.
  6. Cleanse around the cuticles with rubbing alcohol or a gel cleanser to remove any residue and apply cuticle oil.

Techniques

Expert Tip

Achieving the 'photo-real' quality hinges on two factors: the opacity and crispness of your white tip polish, and the absolute perfection of your smile line. Practice your brush strokes for a seamless curve.
