- Icy Blue Gel Polish
- Pearl White Gel Polish
- Sterling Silver Chrome Powder or Gel Paint
- Fine Detail Brushes (000 & liner)
- Matte Top Coat (optional for contrast)
- High-Gloss No-Wipe Top Coat
- LED/UV Curing Lamp
- Prep & Base: File nails to desired shape (Almond/Coffin). Apply base coat and cure. Apply 2 thin coats of icy blue gel polish, curing between each.
- Gradient Effect: Using a pearl white gel polish and a sponge or ombré brush, create a subtle fade from the cuticle area or tip to build depth, then cure.
- Photo-Real Frost: With a fine detail brush and silver chrome gel paint or white gel, meticulously hand-paint intricate, delicate frost patterns, ice crystals, or swirling snow details, focusing on realism and depth. Cure after each nail.
- Add Dimension: Lightly dab silver chrome powder onto select areas of the frost patterns for a reflective, icy shimmer, then gently brush off excess.
- Seal & Finish: Apply a high-gloss no-wipe top coat evenly over the entire nail to seal the design and enhance the photo-real shine, then cure thoroughly.
Expert Tip
For true photo-real depth, use varying opacities of white and silver gel paints for your frost patterns – a sheerer layer for the background and a more opaque one for the foreground details. This creates a multi-dimensional effect.
