I use Shellac not Gelicure, but I would apply 2 coats of the pink as your base colour, cure, then using a clean makeup sponge, pat the lilac in the centre, cure, then brush the blue onto the end, and use a clean makeup sponge to dapple into the lilac.

Hope that makes sense xx

I see yes this helps! Do u use a triangle shaped sponge?
 
first one is a client I did yesterday - Brisa NNO with glitter tips and flowers
second one is mine - Shellac in Cake Pop with Precious Pewter additives fade

I found this on the web and loved it so had to give it a go. Gelish Starburst with Sapphire mica, Vegas Nights and then Konad with crystal. Sooo sparkly in the sunshine :)

thanks everyone for your lovely comments, cant stop playing with glitter at the moment lol.

this design was done using a striper brush to create the curve then filled in the side with my detailer brush, cured the gel and then applyed glitter to the sticky layer and pushed the glitter into place using my gel brush to give it a nice crisp finish well kind of crisp anyway :lol:
 
Just had mine done, very pretty and girly for me! Xx

I love looking at your nail photos, they're always so perfect!!
 
I had a go today at some nail art inspired by wahnails... Nowhere near perfect, but what do you think for my first attempt?

I practised on a colleague, I drew one diamond and she did the other. I think they're quite messy in places, I was using a nail art pen and striper, and I find it difficult to control 😔

:Love:
and I am never fully happy with them.

I'm with you! I always see something wrong with my work. Lol. We're always our own worst critics!
