Nail Art Step by Step: Tortoise Shell nails


Animal print never goes out of style, so Salon System nail expert Jaz Moger has created a Tortoise Shell Nails step by step using the Gellux collection.

Step One
Prepare the nails by filing to shape, pushing back the cuticle, and buffing the nail plate.

Cleanse nails with Gellux Prep + Wipe and apply Gellux Fast Bond.

Apply a coat of Gellux Light Pink Builder Gel and cure.





Step Two
Paint one coat of Gellux We Rise By Lifting Others and cure for 30 seconds.












Step Three
Next, paint a light coat of Gellux Invite Only and cure for 30 seconds.











Step Four
Mix a small amount of Gellux Black Onyx, with some Gellux Clear Base/Top coat and paint a few random strokes across each nail and then cure for 30 seconds. 










Step Five
Paint a coat of Gellux Clear Base/Top and randomly dab in some dark patches of Gellux Black Onyx to add depth and cure for 30 seconds.

Step Six 
Finally, finish with a final coat of Gellux Clear Base/Top.

Once cured, wipe over the nails with Gellux Prep + Wipe and oil the cuticles.
