Let's start!
I can't stop staring at them! You can see the rainbow better under sunlight! You can use the powder over other colors, but it is prettier with black as a base:)
What you will need♥
~Tools for preparation (file, cuticle pusher and cutter, buffer)
~Primer (optional)
~Base Coat (Gel polish) ⇢ I used a base coat by Bluesky
~Black Color (Gel polish) ⇢ I used #806 Semi-Gel by Elixir make-up
~Top Coat (Gel polish) ⇢ I used a top coat by Bluesky
~Holographic Powder (which is applied like mermaid powder) ⇢ I used one by Christian Artesio
~UV/LED lamp
~Rubbing Alcohol (to remove the sticky layer later)
Steps♥
1. Prepare your nails (file, push back the cuticles and buff the surface of your nails)
2. You can paint your nails with a primer to make the gel last longer
(best for oily nails, not for thin nails)
3. Apply one thin coat of your gel base coat (seal the edges) and place your hand into the lamp
(UV⇢2 min / LED⇢30-60 sec)
4. Apply one thin coat of black gel polish (seal the edges) and place your hand into the lamp
(UV⇢2 min / LED⇢30-60 sec)
5. If necessary, repeat step 4
6. Dip your finger into the powder and rub it onto your nails
(you can enjoy the magic😍)
7. Apply a thin layer of your top coat and place your hand into the lamp
(UV⇢4 min / LED⇢60-120 sec)
8. Wipe off the sticky layer with rubbing alcohol (your nails are dried don't panic!)
9. DONE♥
