Step by Step: Christmas Sparkling Nails

Recreate these Christmas-inspired sparkling nails by following Salon System nail expert Julie-Anne Larivière's step by step. Julie-Anne is using the new Gellux Star Attraction Collection.

Step One

File the nails to shape, push the cuticles back with the Gellux Cuticle Handy Manicure Tool and gently buff the surface of the nails with a white block. Thoroughly wipe nails with Gellux Nail + File Cleansing Spray and a lint free pad.

When the nails are dry, apply Gellux Fast Bond and let dry for 30 seconds. Then apply one very thin layer of the Gellux Builder Gel in Light Pink (one thin layer then one thicker making sure to build an apex). Cure in between coats for 30 seconds.

Step Two

Next, apply two layers of Gellux Fabulous Darling, curing in between layers for 30 seconds.

Step Three

Then, apply a horizontal stroke of Gellux Centre of Attention in the centre of each nail, cure.

Step Four

Repeat step 4 but this time using Gellux Spotlight.

Step Five

Dip a fine detail brush into Gellux Purely White and paint some twinkles and dots where you have applied the glitter polishes, cure for 60 seconds.

Step Six

Finally, apply the Gellux Shiny Top Coat and cure for 60 – 90 seconds. Next wipe the nails with Gellux Prep + Wipe. Wipe the nails with Gellux Prep + Wipe again and apply Gellux Nail & Cuticle Oil.
