Material

• Dipping resin
• Flex resin
• Glam and Glits Blue
• Glam and Glits Black
• UV resin
• Files and buffer blocks

Steps

• Take your dipping resin and wait for a drop to form at the end of the brush.
• Dip the brush in the blue powder.
• Apply randomly on the nail to create spots.
• Wipe the brush on paper between each dipping to avoid contamination of the resin.
• Repeat these steps to cover the nail in blue.
• Repeat the first steps, but this time with the black powder.
  (Continue without using the activator to allow mixing of the two colors)
• Once you’re done with the two colors, use the activator and wait a few seconds.
• File the surface of the nails and use a yellow buffer block, then remove all dust from buffing.
• If you feel like you need, you can retouch now with more resin and powder.
• Spray activator. Wait a few seconds, file and buff to make surface smooth.
• If you need to, apply a bit of flex resin in the middle of the nail to create a stress point (apex).
• Use activator if you used the resin flex. Wait a few seconds, file and buff to make surface smooth.
• Apply one coat of UV resin as the finishing layer. Cure 10 seconds under UV lamp.
• Repeat the last step up to 3 times and make sure you get the free edge for a perfect finish.
