Happy St. Valentines Day! New Step by step!


 Every service, we start with sanitizing both your and your client’s hands.

1. Remove the shine from natural nail surface using 180 grit file. Place the form on the natural nail. Make sure that it’s going straight, looking form the upper and the side view.
2. Using EFexclusive powder “Hot Pink” form a free edge in the square shape and stretch it up to the natural nail. (It’s strongly recommended to put the first thin layer of the clear powder only to the natural nail bed). When it’s set a little bit, pinch it using the special device or your own fingernails. Than, using white powder with small shiny particles, put a bit of it to the free edge, and stretch it up a little bit, right to the center of the nail. If you don’t have such powder, you can mix it by yourself, exactly like I did: I mixed EFexclusive white powder with a little bit of “Opal Shimmer” by NSI.



3. When it sets a little bit, make a different size hearts, using a special device, called “Dots”. You have to work fast, as the acrylic polymerizes, by the next heart you have less and less time to push it.


4. Cover the entire surface of the nail with the clear powder. When it sets a little bit, you can pinch it again, to make the C-curve look more esthetic and nice.


5. File the shape and the surface of the nail using 150 and 180 grit file. Finish using less abrasive files, 220 and then 280 grit.


Cover the nail with any UV Top coat to give it a high-gloss shine.
