HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Prior to color application, cleanse nails with CND™ SCRUBFRESH™ and apply a thin layer of CND™ SHELLAC LUXE™ Black Pool to half of the nail.

• 

  
  2

  Cure for one minute (preset button 2S) in the CND™ LED Lamp.

• 

  
  3

  Apply a second layer of CND™ SHELLAC LUXE™ Black Pool, then cure for one minute (preset button 2S) in the CND™ LED Lamp.

  Apply CND™ SHELLAC LUXE™ Top Coat and cure for one minute (preset button 3) in the CND™ LED Lamp.

  To create the design, use a dense gel brush to apply gold leaf foil to the center of the nail only, leaving the tips clear.

   

  Pro Tip: The gold leaf foil will stick perfectly to the cured layer of Top Coat but to make the application quicker and easier Yvett says to use a dense gel brush instead of tweezers.

  Apply a second layer of CND™ SHELLAC LUXE™ Top Coat to the gold leaf design only and then cure for one minute (preset button 3) in the CND™ LED Lamp.

  Gently wipe the top film with a lint-free pad saturated with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.

   

  Optional: If there are any bumps from the gold leaf foil, gently buff the nail using the green side of the CND™ Glossing Block to even out the surface.

  If you had to buff the nails, apply another layer of CND™ SHELLAC LUXE™ Top Coat over the entire nail and cure for one minute (preset button 3) in the CND™ LED Lamp. Gently wipe the top film with a lint-free pad saturated with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.

   

  Note: If you did not have to buff the nails in the previous step, this step isn’t necessary.
