Step 2.

A coat of pink gel is applied and some irridescent spangles are added to the tip area and faded out towards the base of the nail. Cure for 2 minutes. The free edge is then filed into the shape of the new smile line. If your client doesnt have a long free edge to work with, apply forms and use the pink sculpting gel to extend the nails and then file them into the shape of the new smileline.

The forms are removed and flourescent orange gel is added to the new sculpted tip. The gel I used really glows in ultra violet light and is part of a range of colour gels by LeChat. The orange gel self levels around the new smile line. Cure 2 minutes.

Using a small amount of clear gel secure some stars randomly on the nails. Freeze cure for 20 seconds. Now use a little more clear gel to place first, a light application of orange glitter to the tips and a little black glitter around the smile line. Cure for 2 minutes.
