Natural Nails With Blackberries

Nails with Gel Lacquer and Foil Decoration

Natural nails reinforced with the Base & Build. Give long natural nails extra strength using the Base & Build line, then elevate them with bold colors from the BERRY gel paint collection and dazzling foil accents.

Step by step

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

2. Bond: Apply Fantasy Bond for optimal adhesion.

3. Reinforce:

• Apply a thin coat of Base & Build Diamond Clear to create a base, then cure in the UV/LED lamp.

• Follow with a second, thicker layer to form the apex and strengthen the nail structure, then cure again.

4. Shape: Cleanse the nails with Cleanser, file, and buff to the desired shape.

5. Color: Brush on Paintings Gel in ultra-thin layers (1–2 layers for the preferred intensity). Use Blackberry on the index finger, Raspberry on the middle and ring fingers, and Blueberry on the pinky finger. Cure each layer in the UV/LED lamp.

6. Foil Application: Apply a very thin layer of Base & Build Diamond Clear where you want the foil to stick.

7. Foil Design: Once the Base & Build layer has cooled, press Holo Sapphire and Fuchsia foils onto the nails.

8. Finish: Seal the entire design with Flexi Glossy Top and cure under the UV/LED lamp for a brilliant, lasting shine.
