Step-by-Step Execution Guide

  1. Nude Foundation: Apply one coat of sheer pink-nude gel polish across all nails; cure 60s.
  2. Ombre Gradient:
    • Sponge pastel buttercup yellow gel onto the upper half of the nail using a mini gradient sponge.
    • Tap gently at the transition line to diffuse the yellow into the nude base. Cure 30s.
    • Repeat with a second sponge layer for full yellow tip opacity.
  3. Gold Leaf Accents: Dab small fragments of gold foil leaf along the ombre transition line.
  4. Top Coat: Apply a glossy top coat, self-level for 5 seconds, and cure for 60 seconds.

Pro Styling & Application Tips

  • Seamless Ombre Blending: Dampen your gradient sponge with a drop of gel cleanser before dipping into polish. A slightly damp sponge diffuses gel smoothly without leaving harsh air bubbles on the nail plate.
