From head to toe, clients will expect to walk out of the salon looking their best for that next holiday party on their calendar.

Using a blue hue from the limited edition Gelish Holiday Collection, here’s a nail art design to inspire the nail technician at your salon that is sure to dazzle.

You’ll need:

Gelish Nail Surface Cleanse

Gelish pH Bond Nail Prep

Gelish Foundation Base Gel

Gelish Soak-off Gel Polish in Holiday Party Blues, Simple Sheer and Sheek White

Gelish Top It Off Sealer Gel

Gelish Nourish Cuticle Oil

Dotting tool

Fine-tipped mini nail art brush

STEP 1

Remove any dust, oil and residue from the natural nail plate with Nail Surface Cleanse, using a lint-free nail wipe, and prep the nail with pH Bond Nail Prep. Apply a thin coat of Foundation Base Gel, making sure to cap the free edge and cure the nails.

STEP 2

Apply a thin coat of Soak-off Gel Polish in Holiday Party Blues, and cure nails. Then, apply a thin coat of Soak-off Gel Polish in Simple Sheer without curing.

STEP 3

Using a dotting tool, pick up a dot of Soak-off Polish in Sheek White and place 3 to 5 small dots around the nail bed. The dots will begin to pool.

STEP 4

Using a fine-tipped mini nail art brush, drag the brush through the pools of Sheek White, starting from the centre of the nail bed. This will create a starburst effect.

STEP 5

Finish the design by applying a thin coat of Top It Off Sealer Gel, and cure the nail. Remove any tacky residue and apply Nourish Cuticle Oil onto skin surrounding the nail plate.
