Follow the steps

🌈 Apply perfect white, cure

🌈Apply 'The B*tch is Back' on one half of the nail and Slay Everyday on the other half, gently blend and cure

🌈Repeat step 2 and cure

🌈 Apply Top Coat

🌈Apply pearls around the cuticle area and then cure.

Molly's TIPS

🌈 You can use a blending nail art brush to help with the blend

🌈 To help the blending process try to use colors that are close to each other on the color chart, this way you can prevent a messy blend.

🌈 I used 2 coats but you can also apply a few very thin coats to build up the color blend.

🌈 You can spice things up and do horizontal gradients!

🌈 If you struggle with the pearl placements because they slide around too much- do it in 2 steps, apply the top coat to the full nail and cure. Then, using a thin brush apply a thin layer of gel around the area where you want to apply the pearls and gently place them over the gel. This way the gel is more confined and your pearls won't slide around down your nail!
