Step 1
Firstly, start by prepping the nails by pushing back the cuticle, filing to shape and gently buff the nail.
Remove excess dust and wipe with the Gellux Prep + Wipe. Then, using Gellux Fast Bond, apply to the nails and let dry.
Finally, for the prep apply Gellux Easy Off Base Coat, and cure.
Step 2
Apply a thin coat of Gellux Chilli Pepper to the pinkie and ring finger and Gellux Truth or Dare to the middle, index and thumb nails. Repeat then cure.
Step 3
To create the bubble effect, add a drop of washing up liquid to a container and mix with a drop of water then shake the mixture to make the bubbles.
Now apply one coat of the Gellux Chilli Pepper to the index finger (do not cure yet). Now using a scoop, apply a blob of bubbles to the nail, and then cure.
Step 4
The next step is to create a medium heart on the middle finger using Gellux Chilli Pepper. Do not cure. Then, apply a scoop of the bubble mixture previously mixed to the heart and cure.
If needed, gently use a nail file to buff the top layer of the bubbles and dust off.
Step 5
Using your thin detailing brush, border around your heart detail and all the way around the pinkie and thumb using the Gellux Rosie Gold, and then cure.
Step 6
Apply Gellux Mirror Glaze Topcoat to all nails, making sure to really get into the bubbles created and then cure. Finally, wipe the nails with Gellux Prep & Wipe and finish with the Gellux Nail & Cuticle Oil. Beautiful!
