Supplies You'll Need

How To Recreate It
- Prep nails: shape, buff, and apply a base coat, curing as directed.
- Apply a light blue gel polish as the base, cure. Then, using a small amount of dark blue polish and a brush dampened slightly with gel cleanser, gently dab and blend to create the watercolor effect, curing once satisfied.
- Using a fine detail brush and white detail gel polish, carefully draw delicate, flowing swirls across the watercolor areas, ensuring smooth lines.
- Once all swirls are complete and cured, apply a high-shine clear top coat over the entire design to seal and protect, then cure one final time.
Expert Tip
For a truly authentic watercolor effect, work with thin layers of gel polish and a brush lightly dampened with gel cleanser to softly diffuse and blend the colors. Practice your white swirls on a nail art palette first to achieve smooth, consistent lines.
Try These Variations
- →**Deep Ocean Ombre:** Transition from a dark navy blue at the cuticle to a lighter blue at the tip before adding white swirls.
- →**Glimmering Swirls:** Incorporate a subtle silver or iridescent glitter dust into the white swirl lines for added sparkle.
- →**Cloudy Watercolor:** Use a softer, more diffused watercolor effect with pastel blue tones, making the white swirls appear more cloud-like.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Apply cuticle oil daily to nourish your nails and prolong the life of your design.
- ✓Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent damage to the design and natural nail.
- ✓Keep hands and nails hydrated to prevent dryness and maintain the integrity of the polish.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes, ensuring cotton pads are saturated and wrapped tightly.
- 3.Gently push off softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick. Avoid aggressive scraping.

FAQs
How long does this Blue Watercolor design last?
With proper application and aftercare, your Blue Watercolor with White Swirls should last 2-3 weeks, depending on your nail growth and lifestyle.
Can I get this design on shorter nails?
Absolutely! While longer nails offer more canvas for the fluid watercolor, the design can be adapted beautifully to shorter lengths, focusing on a more concentrated effect.
Is the white swirl freehand or done with a stencil?
