Start with a fresh application of builder gel. If you want to learn how to use builder gel like we have here, this tutorial is the one for you.

After curing your last layer of builder gel, do not wipe them clean. Then, take your hot pink eyeshadow on a fluffy eyeshadow brush, and start by dabbing the colour into the centre of the nail, to create an aura effect. We’re using Cupid from the By BEAUTY BAY Retro Love Palette. You don’t need to cure this layer.

Using a fine liner brush and a bright green gel polish, paint a French tip on each nail. Cure for 60 seconds in your lamp.

Repeat your design on each nail. Then, finish the look by applying a gel top coat to the whole nail, to lock your design in and prevent chipping. Cure in your lamp for 60 seconds.

Once your top coat is cured, apply cuticle oil to the cuticles to keep your nails healthy and strong.
