Splashes of Colour
Colour focus, Step by Step

Step 1
Prepare the nail for gel polish application. Apply two coats of black gel polish in thin layers and cure in-between, according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 2
Using a round gel brush and white gel paint, create cloud looking like shapes anywhere you want the design to be. Make sure it is nicely balanced according to the nail shape and length. Cure.
Step 3
Apply the first colour of gel paint using the same gel brush creating a circle like shape. Do not cure.
Step 4
Using a clean brush blend with a gentle touch. Cure.
Step 5
Repeat the steps with as many colours as you like and cure in between layers
Step 6
Add each colour one by one and cured in between layers. Add gold gel paint around the design in random areas of the outline and cure.
I applied my base coat on top, cured and then applied the top coat and cured again. Using a base coat in the end will give it more of a glassy effect.
