Step-by-Step Execution Guide

  1. Nude Base: Apply two coats of a sheer, milky-nude or soft pink gel base across all nails. Cure for 60 seconds.
  2. Classic French Tip:
    • Using a 9mm liner brush and opaque white gel, draw a curved French tip smile line along the free edge of each nail.
    • Fill in the tip completely and cure for 60 seconds.
  3. Yoshi Egg Spots:
    • Dip a medium dotting tool into apple-green (or pastel pink for female Yoshi) gel paint.
    • Place 3 to 5 uneven, slightly oval dots across the white French tip area.
    • Lightly drag the edges of the dots with a 5mm liner brush to make them look like organic egg spots rather than perfect circles.
  4. Accent Yoshi Face (Thumb): Paint a white dome on the thumb with a green nose and bright blue vertical eyes for a cute character focal point.
  5. Top Coat: Apply a super-glossy top coat and cure for 60 seconds.
