Contradiction Nail Styles: Negative Space Step-by-Step

Step-by-Step

  1. P.R.E.P. the natural nail and apply a CND Clear Tip. Apply a BRISA Sculpting Gel Clear enhancement and finish with the 180 side of the BLIZZARD File.
  2. Apply a thin layer of BRISA Paint White to the entire nail. Cure for one minute in the CND LED Lamp.
  3. Apply CND Additives Lavender Whispers and Additives Twinkle Pink over the nail in a random pattern using a dry CND ProSeries Gel Flat Oval Brush.
  4. Mix Additives and BRISA Paint White in a mixing tray to create the design’s colors. Gently stir together using a spatula or an orangewood stick until thoroughly mixed. Use a slow, steady motion to avoid creating bubbles. To maintain the integrity of the enhancement never mix more than 30% Additives to any gel blend.
