📝 Instructions: Crafting Your Phoenix Flame Nails
Achieving the sharp flame design with a chrome finish requires precision and quick application.
- Prep Nails: Clean, file, and apply a base coat. Cure if using gel.
- Apply Dark Base: Apply 1-2 thin coats of black or dark red/brown polish to all nails. Cure each coat.
- Draw Flames:
- Using a fine nail art brush, draw flame shapes onto the nails with yellow polish first, starting from the tips and sweeping upwards irregularly. Cure.
- Layer orange polish slightly over the yellow, mimicking flame movement. Cure.
- Layer red polish closest to the tips or as outlines. Cure.
- Apply Chrome Effect (Optional, for glow):
- Apply a no-wipe top coat ONLY over the flame areas. Cure until completely tack-free.
- Rub chrome powder onto the cured no-wipe top coat over the flame designs using an applicator. Buff gently for a mirror finish. Clean excess powder.
- Seal: Apply a glossy top coat over the entire nail for shine and protection, ensuring to cap the free edge. Cure thoroughly.
- Finish: Cleanse any sticky residue. Apply cuticle oil.
