Step 1

Apply SNA Quick Tips to the nails , file and buff. Apply one coat of Astonishing Nails Soak Off Stretch Base in Peony and cure.

Step 2

Using a fine detailer brush , apply Astonishing Nails Gelosophy shade #093 Soft Orange in two thin lines down each side of the nail in a V shape. Next, paint a horizontal line around a third of the way down the nail from the tip to form a guide for your French-style tip

Step 3

Round off the corners of the French tip using your guide and fill in the tip using the Soft Orange shade. Cure.

Step 4

Use Astonishing Nails Gelosophy shade in #016 Off The Top and a nail art brush to paint a squiggly shape down the nail as shown. Cure.

Paint another shape if desired across the nail. The nails dont all have to feature the same pattern; mix it up with the squiggles in different places. Cure.
