📝 Instructions: Crafting Your Luxe Wild Nails
Achieving this design involves precise application for both the chrome and the animal print.
- Prep Nails: Clean, file, and apply base coat. Cure if using gel.
- Apply Base Colors:
- Apply 1-2 thin coats of black polish on desired nails (e.g., ring finger). Cure each coat.
- Apply 1-2 thin coats of a dark color (like black) on remaining nails for the chrome effect base. Cure each coat.
- Apply Gold Chrome:
- On the nails intended for chrome, apply a no-wipe top coat and cure until completely tack-free.
- Rub gold chrome powder onto the cured no-wipe top coat using an applicator until a smooth, mirror-like finish is achieved.
- Create Leopard Print Accent (on black nail):
- Apply a tan/nude color in irregular blobs on the black nail. Cure briefly.
- Using a fine brush and brown or black polish, draw irregular, incomplete outlines around the blobs. Add smaller dots/lines in between. Cure.
- Seal: Apply a glossy top coat over all nails for shine and protection. Cure thoroughly.
- Finish: Cleanse any sticky residue. Apply cuticle oil.
