Spring/Summer, Step by Step
Poolside chic inspires this design by Emma Luu, certified Gelish educator, who created the look using shades from the Gelish Make A Splash summer 2018 nail colour collection.
“A fun pool party is the perfect way to cool off during the hot summer months,” she reveals. “Kick back in flip-flops and swimsuits and enjoy the summer days.”
