barbara szollosi summer nails step by step final

Spring/Summer, Step by Step

Crystal Nails UK brand ambassador, Barbara Szollosi, has created this minimalistic leaf nail design using bold summer shades as a base.

Step 1

Apply Compact Base Gel in the shade Cover Rose for a nice, natural look and cure for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Apply a thin layer of CrystaLac WaterPro in Clear and don't cure. With any brush, apply CrystaLac in the shades 3S96, 3S129 and 3S106. Wait a couple of seconds while the product spreads. When you happy are with the look, cure for 1 minute.

Step 3

Apply MattEver Top Gel Coat and cure for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Draw a line from the bottom corner with Ornament Gel in Black. Use a fine long brush like 0 Long. Pick up a good amount of product on the tip of your brush and place the leaves. Don't cure.

Step 5

Wipe off the black gel from your long art brush as much as you can and connect the leaves to the stem by pulling out a line from it. Pull out a bit of product from the top of the leaves. When you're done, flash cure for 10 seconds.

Step 6

Using a dotting tool, add tiny dots to your design with Ornament Gel in the shades Black and White to complete your design. Fully cure it for 2 minutes.
