Step By Step Breakdown:

  1. Prep the natural nails by pushing back the cuticles, buffing the nail plate, and applying dehydrator and primer.
  2. Apply long coffin extensions and refine the shape.
  3. Apply two coats of deep emerald green gel polish, curing between each coat.
  4. Airbrush or sponge neon green gel polish onto the center of each reptile section to create a glowing effect.
  5. Using a fine detail brush, outline the reptile-inspired scales with deep green and black shading to add depth and dimension.
  6. Blend the edges of each scale to create a soft, realistic transition.
  7. Cure thoroughly after completing the artwork.
  8. Finish with a velvet matte top coat to enhance the reptile texture and create a modern editorial finish.
  9. Apply cuticle oil around the nails for a polished, salon-quality result.
