For the longer, lounging summer days, give your clients nails to talk about, whether that will be at the beach, the patio or the resort. Gretchen Jones, nail designer with SpaRitual, offers four wearable nail designs with the Meditate and Reflect collections.

Subtle Gradient

TIP: Be sure to do one nail at a time so they don’t over dry, allowing for better blending.

1. Prep nails with one coat of SpaRitual TrueBond Primer.

2. Apply one coat of SpaRitual TrueBond Basecoat.

3.  Apply a small layer of Transcend one-third of the way down the nail by the cuticle.

4. Layer Introspective to the middle area, slightly overlapping Transcend.

5. Add Energy to the tip of the nail, slightly overlapping Introspective.

6.  Finish with SpaRitual TrueBond Top Coat for long-lasting wear.

Subtle Ombre

1. Prep nails with one coat of SpaRitual TrueBond Primer.

2. Apply one coat of SpaRitual TrueBond Basecoat.

3. On pinky finger, apply two coats of Peace & Harmony.

4.  On ring finger, apply one coat of Peace & Harmony and evenly layer one coat of Quietness on top.

5. On middle finger, apply two coats of Quietness.

6. On index finger, apply one coat of Quietness and evenly layer one coat of Calm and Clear on top.

Geometric Trend

1. Prep nails with one coat of SpaRitual TrueBond Primer.

2. Apply one coat of SpaRitual TrueBond Basecoat.

3. Apply two coats of Kindness and wait for nails to dry.

4. Adhere a piece of Scotch tape on the top of each nail so that the corner points down toward the center of nail, forming a triangle.  Press down firmly.

5. Apply two coats of Joy to the rest of the nail that is not covered by tape.

6. While Joy is still wet, slowly remove the tape to reveal a triangle shape, blocked out in Kindness.

7. Finish with SpaRitual TrueBond Top Coat for long lasting wear.

 Chevron Trend

3. Apply two coats of Innocence and wait for nails to dry.

4. Apply a small piece of Scotch tape at bottom of nail so the corner points up towards the center.  Adhere two additional thin strips of tape at the left and right sides at the top of nail, leaving out a chevron shape in the center of nail.  Press down firmly on edges to create a sharp line.

5. Paint Inner Beauty over the nail.

6.  While wet, slowly remove the tape to reveal the chevron shape, blocked out in Inner Beauty.
