Nail Art Step by Step: Feel the Love Heart-inspired Swirls


Get set for Valentine's Day with Karen Louise's stunning heart-inspired swirled nail art design using Salon System's Gellux gel polishes.

Salon System Gellux Nail ArtStep 1
Prepare the nails, file to shape, push back cuticle and gently buff the nail plate. Brush away any dust and wipe over with the Gellux Prep + Wipe.  Apply the Gellux Fast Bond and let dry. 

Apply a thin layer of Gellux Builder Gel in Light Pink for 30 seconds and cure.




Salon System Gellux Nail ArtStep 2
Apply a small drop of Gellux Tease Me to a nail palette. Then, using a small striper brush, outline the pinkie finger with Gellux Tease Me but only halfway around the nail. Thicken this line and keep them sharp.

Flash cure and repeat the same process on the index finger.

Repeat the same process to the cuticle area but do not go as high up the side of the nail and keep it thinner along the side wall to about halfway. Flash cure.
