Step By Step Breakdown:
- Prep the natural nails by pushing back the cuticles, buffing the nail plate, and applying dehydrator and primer.
- Apply long stiletto extensions and refine each nail into a sharp, symmetrical shape.
- Apply a sheer nude pink builder gel base and cure until smooth.
- Paint soft seafoam blue French tips with sweeping diagonal smile lines and cure.
- Using 3D sculpture gel, build flowing raised wave patterns over selected French tips with a fine liner brush, curing each layer to preserve the sculpted texture.
- On alternating accent nails, apply pearl gel adhesive and arrange mixed-size iridescent pearls into dimensional clusters along the French tips.
- Cure thoroughly after completing all sculptural details.
- Seal around the raised waves and pearls with a glossy no-wipe top coat, avoiding the tops of the embellishments to preserve their texture and shine.
- Finish with cuticle oil for a hydrated, salon-quality finish.
