Step 1
After prepping the nail, apply AIRGEL's Virtual Beige colour using the airgun to create an ombré. Cleanse the area then cure. Apply non-wipe top coat and cure.
Step 2
Paint flower petals using an acrylic brush and red, aqua and pink acrylic colours, and allow to air dry.
Step 3
Airbrush AIRGEL's 85 colour in the centre of the flowers and flash cure. Top tip: if you want to soften the shades, spray a mix of AIRGEL Nail Color Liquid Dilution and the colour.
Step 4
Paint second petals using the red, aqua and pink acrylic colours and the acrylic brush, then allow to air dry.
Step 5
Airbrush AIRGEL's 85 colour in the centre of the flowers: in a smaller area than in step three, and flash cure.
Step 6
Repeat steps four and five.
Step 7
Paint the flowers' stamen using white and yellow acrylic colours and an acrylic brush, then allow to air dry.
Step 8
Apply rhinestones and studs, then non-wipe top coat and cure.
