Simple Nail Art with Polish Pro

Some simple, albeit beautiful, nail art with our Polish Pro Light-Cured Nail Polish.

Christine Angell Ludvigsen first drew our attention with she started posting images on our Facebook group page of some simple, albeit beautiful, nail art with our Polish Pro Light-Cured Nail Polish.  Armed with some glitter and Konad Stamping Nail Art, this 30-year-old hailing from Drammen, Norway impressed us so much, we ask her to give us a quick step-by-step of her work.

Step 1:
After shaping the free edge of the natural nail, gently push back and remove the cuticles with an orangewood stick or other implement. A gentle, light buffing using an Endurance 180/180 Grit File or Endurance 180/240 Grit Buffer to remove surface oils will improve adhesion. Clean and dehydrate the nail plate using Nailpure Plus on a Nail Wipe.

Step 2:
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 3:
Shake your choice of Polish Pro colors well before use. Apply a very thin layer. Cure for two minutes.  Apply a second thin layer and cure for another two minutes.  Remove the tacky layer with a Nail Wipe saturated with Cleanse.

Step 4:
Shake your choice of Polish Pro color well before use.  Paint your French free edge.  Sprinkle glitter of your choice on the uncured color of the free edge. Clean up any unwanted glitter with a clean brush (dampen it with Acetone if needed). Cure for two minutes.

Step 5:
Apply Polish Pro Top Coat, capping and sealing the edges, and cure for two minutes.  Wipe away tacky layer with a Nail Wipe saturated with Cleanse.

Step 6:
Stamp on your choice of stamping nail art.

Step 7:
Apply Polish Pro Top Coat, capping and sealing the edges, and cure for two minutes.

Step 8:
Wait at least 10 seconds after curing is done before wiping away the tacky layer with a Nail Wipe saturated with Cleanse.

Step 9:
Apply one drop of Nurture Oil to each nail and massage in.
