Prep the nail following the OPI prep steps for GelColor. Apply GelColor base coat followed by two coats of Alpine Snow following OPI’s GelColor procedure, finishing with a cured layer.

Step 2

Apply a band of OPI GelColor in Positive Vibes Only. Do not cure. Apply a band of OPI V-I-Pink Passes. Do not cure.

Gently blend the two colours with feather light brush stokes using the fine brush from the Artist Series nail art brush set.

Step 4

Add a band if OPI GelColor in Orange You A Rock Star.

Step 5

Blend with the pink as before (some people prefer to blend with a sponge) and then cure for 30 seconds in the OPI LG Gel curing lamp. Repeat the steps above for a second colour coat.

Step 6

Once happy with the depth of colour and effect, apply OPI GelColor Top Coat. Cure for 30 seconds. Wipe thoroughly with OPI Nas 99 and a Lint Free Wipe. Apply ProSpa Nail and Cuticle oil to the Cuticle and gently massage in to finish.
