Step 1
Remove old product, keeping just thin layer of gel and shape the nail (or make an extension). Prepare the nail as you usually would.
Step 2
Apply a thin layer of a base gel or a clear hard gel then cure.
Step 3
Apply pink gel polish near the cuticles and blend the colour down toward the free edge (creating a gradient). While it is still wet (not cured), apply glitter then cure.
Step 4
Apply a milky white gel, making sure you stop about 2-3mm from cuticles. This is to ensure you can still see some of the glitter underneath.
Step 5
Cover the glitter with clear gel and built the apex, then cure.
Step 6
File the nails to achieve your desired shape.
Step 7
Apply shiny top coat and perhaps some crystals on one finger to create a 'feature nail'.
