  1. Prep nails: clean, file, and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, cure under LED/UV lamp.
  2. Apply 1-2 coats of sky blue gel polish, ensuring even coverage and curing each layer.
  3. Using a fine detail brush and bright white polish, create cloud shapes by dabbing and swirling, building up volume for a fluffy effect. Cure.
  4. With sunny yellow polish and the detail brush, paint radiating sun rays from a corner or edge of a nail, allowing some rays to overlap clouds for depth. Cure.

Expert Tip

For perfectly fluffy clouds, don't overwork the white polish. Dab lightly, building up the shape rather than painting solid lines. For the sun rays, ensure your yellow is opaque, and draw them with a steady, swift hand from the center outwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this Summer Sky nail art last?

With proper application and aftercare, this gel design can beautifully last for 2-3 weeks without chipping or dulling.

Can I get this design on very short nails?

Absolutely! The whimsical nature of the clouds and sun translates beautifully to shorter nails, making them look even cuter and more playful.

Is the yellow sun difficult to paint accurately?

The sun rays require a steady hand, which classifies the design as 'Medium' difficulty. A fine detail brush and practice can help achieve clean, crisp lines.

Can I request a matte finish for the blue and white parts?

Yes, a matte top coat can give the blue sky and white clouds a softer, more ethereal look. We can keep the yellow sun glossy for a contrasting pop!

What if I only want the sun on one accent nail?

That's a fantastic idea! We can focus the sunburst on just one or two accent nails, letting the beautiful blue and white clouds shine on the others for a balanced look.

Will the blue color stain my natural nails after removal?

When applied correctly with a good base coat, gel polish should not stain your natural nails. Always ensure professional removal for the best results.

Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent chipping or breakage.
  • Moisturize your hands and nails regularly to keep them hydrated.
  • Protect your nails from harsh chemicals, which can dull the finish or weaken the polish.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file off the top layer of gel polish to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes (or as directed by product).
  • 3.Gently push off softened gel with a cuticle pusher; avoid forceful scraping.
