Rock Star French with Polish Pro Accessories

Leanne Stares, an accomplished NSI nail technician in Australia, found a quick and easy way to a “rock star” French, no messy glitter involved.

Using Polish Pro and coordinating Accessories, you can create this look in just minutes – and it will last for a full two weeks.  Here’s how:

Step 1:
Prep the natural nail.  Apply one extremely thin layer of Polish Pro Base Coat to all five fingers. Be sure to cap the edges.  Cure in the Versa Cure UV Bonding Lamp for 60-90 seconds.

Step 2:
Shake Polish Pro color well before use. Apply a very thin layer. The first layer should look translucent.  Cure for two minutes. Apply a second thin coat of color (for full coverage) and cure for another two minutes.  Ebony was used in this example (As a general rule, darker colors will show the Accessory better than light colors.)

Step 3:
Shake your choice of Polish Pro Accessory well before use. Remove the brush from the bottle and wipe the back side of the brush on the lip of the bottle, to remove some of the excess. Brush onto the nail to create a smile line. Cure for two minutes.

Step 4:
Apply a layer of Polish Pro Top Coat, sealing and capping the edges. Cure for two minutes.  Remove the tacky layer with a Nail Wipe saturated with Cleanse.  Voilá, a “rock star” French!
