Classic Almond Animal Print

Acrylic Nails Decorated with Foils

Achieve a classic almond shape using the acrylic system, showcasing a soft, natural look with the Camu Ivory shade from the Addiction line. Elevate your design by layering foils and gel paint details, then finish with Swarovski crystals for a luxurious, eye-catching effect.

Step by step

1. Prep the natural nail by gently removing cuticles and sanitizing with Fantasy Nail Prep.

2. Apply a reinforced nail form secured with metal tape, and then use Fantasy Bond.

3. Sculpt the entire nail using Addiction Camu Ivory acrylic powder paired with Addiction liquid.

4. Once the product sets, remove the form, pinch, file, and buff for a smooth finish.

5. Apply a thin coat of Base & Build Diamond Clear where you want to place your foil. Once the tacky layer cools, press the foil onto it.

6. For a dreamy, cloudy effect, brush French Latte (Gel Lacquer) onto half the foil design and cure under a UV/LED lamp.

7. Use Gel Painting in White, Black, and Gold to add artistic line details.

8. Paint Gold half-moons on nails without foil using the Gold Gel Painting.

9. Attach Swarovski crystals with Stickey, and affix metallic dots using 3D Fix.

10. Seal your design with a layer of Flexi Glossy Gel for a brilliant, long-lasting shine.
