Step 1
After prepping the nail, apply a nude matte base.
Step 2
Using two different-coloured art gels, paint abstract shapes onto the nail as shown, and ombré the colours together. Cure.
Step 3
Repeat step two in a rectangular shape on the opposite side.
Step 4
Using black and white art gels, outline the shapes so that they stand out and cure. Add a matte top coat and cure.
Step 5
Inside the shapes, create a zig zag pattern with a bright colour, and use a decoration needle and black art gel to create a Mini Egg effect with different-sized dots. Cure.
Step 6
Using a bright, bold art gel, paint a bow off-centre with the ribbon wrapping around the nail. Do not cure.
Step 7
Sprinkle clear acrylic power over the bow design to create a matte sugaring effect. Cure.

Using white art gel and a decoration needle, fill the bow with dots. Cure.
