St Patrick's Day nail design from Gellux nail technician, Julie-Anne Larivière
Gellux nail technician Julie-Anne Larivière has been test driving the latest nail art techniques and has created this spectacular St Patrick's Day nail design, featuring a four leaf clover, to coincide with the festivities. Her step by step guide shows you how!
Gellux gel polishes are an innovative, light-cured nail colour that offers a longer-lasting alternative to traditional air-dry nail polish. Designed to apply like a polish but wear like a gel, the patented technologies within the Gellux formulation promotes excellent adhesion and wear properties, while still allowing for removal by soaking in acetone. Suitable for use on a natural nail, nail extension system, Acrylics or Fibreglass, Gellux polishes last up to fifteen days and are UV and LED compatible.
Step by step
- Prep nail and wipe with Prep and Wipe
- Apply Fast Bond. Apply Base Coat and cure.
- Apply Purely White and cure. Apply a second coat and cure.
- Create the four leaf clover using Spring Greens and a fine brush and cure.
- Add the details on the leaves using Lime Sorbet and cure.
- Paint the orange part of the Irish flag; try Orange Fizz, leaving a little gap around the clover leaf and cure. Apply a second coat and cure.
- Mix Spring Greens with a little Lime Sorbet. Paint the green part of the flag leaving a little gap around the clover leaf again, cure. Apply a second coat, cure.
- Apply Top Coat, cure. Wipe with Prep and Wipe and apply cuticle oil.
