Uña Modern Stiletto

Modern Stiletto Nail

Gradient with Acrylic Glitter

Craft a sleek stiletto silhouette using acrylic, beginning with a Camouflage base from the Salon line and gradually blending glitter from the Diamond and Angel collections over an opaque Flower Collection hue. Elevate the design with intricate white gel-painted arabesques, then finish with Swarovski crystals for a refined, eye-catching look.

Step by step

1. Prep & Cleanse: Gently remove cuticles and disinfect the natural nail using Nail Prep.

2. Form & Bond: Place a reinforced nail form with metal tape, then apply Fantasy Bond to promote strong adhesion.

3. Base Application: Sculpt the base with Salon Camouflage acrylic powder and Addiction acrylic liquid.

4. Extension & Gradient:

Build the extension using Bluebell acrylic powder from the Flower Collection (matte).

Blend in Sapphire glitter powder from the Diamond collection and Blue from the Angel collection for a shimmering ombré.

5. Encapsulate: Cover the entire nail with Speed Clear acrylic powder for protection and clarity.

6. Refine: Remove the form, pinch for a stiletto shape, then file and buff for a smooth finish. Using a Super Detail 3/0 brush, paint arabesque motifs with white gel paint and cure if needed.

7. Crystal Accents: Secure Swarovski crystals using Stickey and 3D Fix to add an elegant sparkle.

8. Seal & Shine: Finish with Finish Gel for a high-gloss, durable result.
