Watercolour floral nails

Step by Step

Salon System nail expert, Julie-Anne, created this floral look with Salon System Gellux shades…

Step 1

Prepare the nails. File to shape and push back cuticles and buff nail plate. Cleanse nails with Gellux Profile Prep + Wipe. Apply Gellux Fast Bond (£5.85+VAT) to nails and let dry. Apply Gellux Easy Off Base Coat, cure. Apply two layers of Gellux Piggy Pink, curing after each layer.

Step 2

On a piece of foil place three drops of Gellux Easy off Base Coat and mix each drop with a very small amount Gellux Surf’s Up, Gellux You Can Can and Gellux Peach Perfect to create three sheer colours. Dip a detail brush into Gellux You Can Can shade and create small randomly placed petals on the side of each nail. Cure.

Step 3

Repeat using the Gellux Peach Perfect.

Step 4

Repeat again using the Gellux Surf’s Up. Cure after each design is added.

Step 5

Dip a fine liner brush into Gellux Black Onyx and paint the petal outline and dots over the petals. Cure. Apply Gellux Shiny Top Coat and cure. Wipe with Prep & Wipe and apply Gellux Nail & Cuticle Oil.
