Step 1

Paint one coat of Artistic Colour Gloss Soak-off Gel Polish in ‘Bride’ and cure for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Decant red and blue Colour Gloss shades, ‘Hotzy’ and ‘I Have Connections’, onto a palette and using the Striping Brush ‘Striper’, draw a cross in ‘Hotzy’ onto the nail and cure.

Step 3

The Union Jack flag has eight points, so using the Striping Brush create half triangles, drawing the lines between the cross. Cure for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Using ‘I Have Connections’, draw in triangles between the red lines, creating the Union Jack. Once happy, cure for 30 seconds.

Step 5

You can go over the lines with another coat to make them bolder. Cure for another 30 seconds.

Step 6

Apply Colour Gloss Glossing Gel and cure for 30 seconds to achieve that high shine look. Remove the inhibition layer with Artistic Nail Surface Cleanser.
