Apply the colour gel in white on the fingernail tip, as left in the pictures shown.

Tip:
If you have synthetic fingernails you should pay attention that the edge of the fingernail is also painted. This causes a perfect and consistent look of your fingernail.

The result should correspond approximately to the picture. on the left side.

Step 5: Nail art liner in the colour red-glitter
Draw with the nail art liner in the colour red-glitter a line at the transition of the free fingernail surface and the colour gel in white.

Tip:
Before you use the nail art liner, you should strip the surplus lacquer of the brush at the edge of the bottle. Thus you can draw clean, fine lines.
