Abstract autumn nails

Autumn/Winter, Step by Step

Salon System nail expert, Julie-Anne, has created an autumnal nail design using the new Without Limits collection from GELLUX in collaboration with Karen Louise.

Step 1

Prepare nails by pushing back cuticles, trimming excess, shaping the free edge, and buffing the nail plate with a white block. Scrub clean with GELLUX Prep + Wipe. Apply GELLUX Fast Bond, let it dry for 30 seconds then apply base coat of choice and cure for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Apply two layers of GELLUX We Rise by Lifting Others, curing for 30 seconds in between each coat.

Step 3

Dip a fine liner into GELLUX For-Evergreen and swipe your brush from the base of the nails in a downward motion. This creates the stem. Cure for 60 seconds.

Step 4

To create the leaves, start by dipping a medium dotting tool into GELLUX For-Evergreen and dot around the stem. Do not cure.

Step 5

Using a fine liner extend the tip of the dots into a leaf shape and connect the leaf to the stem using into GELLUX For-Evergreen, cure again.

Step 6

Repeat the same process this time using GELLUX Kallie-Blue. Cure for 30 seconds.

Step 7

Now dip a detail brush into GELLUX Love U and paint a leopard pattern in random areas, cure again.

Step 8

Finally, apply GELLUX Mirror Glaze Top Coat and cure again. Wipe nails with GELLUX Prep + Wipe and GELLUX Nail & Cuticle Oil to finish your Autumnal inspired nails.
