Step By Step Breakdown:
- Prep the natural nails by pushing back the cuticles, buffing the nail plate, and applying dehydrator and primer.
- Sculpt or apply long stiletto nail extensions and refine the shape.
- Apply a sheer nude pink builder gel over the nail bed and cure until smooth.
- Paint asymmetrical jelly French tips using different translucent shades such as teal, amber, olive green, and mocha.
- Cure each color layer for full opacity while maintaining a glass-like finish.
- Apply rhinestone or gem gel onto the colored tip sections.
- Arrange chrome metallic beads in assorted sizes, placing the largest spheres first before filling in with smaller accents for a dimensional bubble effect.
- Cure thoroughly to secure all embellishments.
- Seal around the metal studs with a fine liner brush and finish with a glossy no-wipe top coat, avoiding the tops of the chrome beads to preserve their reflective finish.
