  • Sheer Nude Gel Polish
  • Creamy White Gel Polish
  • Fine Liner Nail Art Brush
  • Precision Cuticle Pusher & Nippers

  1. Thoroughly prep nails: clean, shape, gently push back and trim cuticles for a pristine canvas.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of sheer nude base gel polish and cure under UV/LED lamp.
  3. Using a fine liner brush, meticulously paint a crisp, perfectly curved creamy white arc along the cuticle line of each nail; ensure symmetry and smoothness.
  4. Cure the white arc carefully, then apply a second thin layer of the sheer nude gel over the entire nail to blend and soften the transition, curing again.
  5. Finish with a generous layer of high-gloss, no-wipe top coat, ensuring full coverage for that 'photo-real' shine, and perform final cure.
  6. Cleanse the nails with an alcohol wipe if needed to remove any sticky residue, revealing the flawless finish.
