Step By Step Breakdown:
- Prep the natural nails by pushing back the cuticles, buffing the surface, and applying dehydrator and primer.
- Apply medium-long stiletto extensions or sculpt the desired shape.
- Apply a sheer nude pink builder gel base and cure until smooth and even.
- Paint deep V-shaped cherry red French tips using a fine liner brush and cure.
- Apply a second coat of red gel polish for full opacity and cure again.
- Using thick gem gel or nail adhesive, place silver dome studs evenly across each French tip, varying the spacing for a balanced, designer-inspired look.
- Cure thoroughly to secure the embellishments.
- Apply a glossy no-wipe top coat around the studs without covering their metallic finish.
- Finish by applying cuticle oil for a hydrated, salon-quality look.
