2. Tear off a piece of a cosmetic sponge, dip in Vibrant Vibes, then stamp gently on the tip of the nail.

3. Repeat step 2, continuing to stamp the color down the nail.

4. Seal with Essie top coat while the polish is still slightly wet so that the colours can blend more easily.

4. Create “zig-zags” between the lines on the left and right, and seal with Essie top coat.

1. After a thin layer of Essie base coat, apply two coats of Coacha’bella.

2. Using a striping brush dipped in Groove Is In The Heart, create three concentric semi-circles on the nail—making the middle ring the thickest.

3. Add thin lines to create the “spokes” of the wheel. Start from the thickest ring of the wheel and pull the lines to
the center of the wheel.

4. Create shorter lines on either side of the spokes, ending at the center ring. Seal with Essie top coat while the polish is still slightly wet.
