The previous design has been removed, as shown in this video. The nails are clean and dust free and are ready for being prepped.
With NSI prep dx, I am applying it with a small nail brush to the new growth. This is a dehydrator and it dries to a somewhat chalky white.
Next up is primer, applying it sparingly to the natural nail only. If applied on the left over acrylic, it can cause yellowing.
Right before applying the acrylic to the nail I am applying one more coat of primer to the natural nail only, for better adhesion.
Using colored acrylics directly on the natural nail can cause staining so I am applying a thin layer of NSI attraction totally clear over the entire nail.
Picking up a very bright pink acrylic color from EzFlow and placing it near the cuticle area. Pat it in place and drag it down towards the free edge. Shaping the smile line with your brush will create a smooth and crisp line. This is also called the reverse technique.
Repeating the same process on all nails with NSI attraction extreme pink. This is a translucent pink acrylic powder.
If you feel like your smile line isn't as crisp or as sharp as you want, you can always go ahead and file it.
With a premixed bright green glitter, I placed a small ball against the smile line and pushed it in place to create a thin line.
With a dark green premixed glitter, I filled in the rest of the free edge. Same goes for the rest of the nails.
Encapsulating the glitter with NSI attraction totally clear.
When all the nails are completely dry, I shaped and buffed them. Applying a coat of NSI Glaze 'n Go near the cuticle area of the ring finger as a sticky base for the "watermelon seeds". Picking them up with a dotting tool and placing them near the cuticle. Let it cure for a minute to lock them in place.
Then apply Glaze 'n Go on the entire nail and let it cure for 3 minutes.
Finish off your service with some cuticle oil.
