Steps
- 1Apply first coat of black gel polish
Apply the first coat of black gel polish evenly across the nail surface using the application brush. Ensure smooth coverage from the cuticle down to the free edge, and cure under a UV or LED lamp.
Tip: Apply in thin, even strokes to prevent pooling and ensure proper curing. - 2Apply second coat of black gel polish
Apply a second even coat of black gel polish over the first layer to ensure complete, streak-free opaque coverage across the entire nail surface. Cap the free edge to seal the polish and cure under the UV or LED lamp as directed.
Tip: Applying two thin coats is always better than one thick coat to prevent wrinkling and ensure proper curing. - 3Apply matte top coat
Apply a layer of matte top coat gel evenly over the fully cured black base polish. Ensure the entire surface is covered before placing the nail under the UV or LED lamp to cure, creating a smooth velvety finish.
Tip: Make sure the matte top coat is applied smoothly without pooling around the cuticles to maintain an even texture. - 4Paint flower petals with white gel
Using a fine detail brush loaded with white gel, carefully paint individual petal strokes radiating outward to form the daisy flower shape on top of the matte black surface. Keep strokes light and precise to define each petal clearly.
Tip: Wipe your detail brush clean between strokes if needed to keep the white lines sharp and distinct. - 5Outline petal contours
Take a fine liner brush and carefully outline the contours of the painted white petals to sharpen their shapes and add clean definition to the floral design.
Tip: Hold the liner brush lightly and use just the tip for ultra-thin, controlled lines. - 6Paint the yellow flower center
Apply yellow gel to the center of the daisy flower, letting it overlap where the petals meet to create a vibrant focal point. Finish with any additional details like a stem if desired, then cure.
Tip: A small dotting tool or fine brush can help you place the yellow center precisely in the middle of the petals. - 7Apply a matte top coat
Apply a layer of matte top coat over the completed nail art design to give it a smooth, velvety finish. Make sure to cover all painted areas evenly and cure completely under the lamp.
Tip: Ensure the matte top coat is applied smoothly to give the nail art a flawless flat finish. - 8Wipe the inhibition layer
Using a lint-free cleansing wipe moistened with alcohol, gently wipe the surface of the nail to remove the sticky inhibition layer left behind after curing the top coat.
Tip: Wipe firmly in one direction to ensure all residual tackiness is removed for a clean finish.
