  1. Background: Paint a crisp nude or cream-white base coat and cure for 60 seconds.
  2. Flame Gradient (Free Edge):
    • Sponge a fiery gradient of bright yellow, orange, and cardinal red along the tip of the nail. Cure 30s.
  3. Ace of Spades Motif:
    • Using jet-black gel painting paste and a 5mm detail brush, paint a large Ace of Spades suit symbol in the center of the nail.
