Step 1
Apply a thin layer of Shellac UV Base Coat to properly
prepared nails and cure for 10 seconds.

Step 2
Apply two layers of Shellac UV Color Coat in Asphalt
(available September 2011). Cure for 2 minutes after each layer
application.

Step 3
To create the large half-circles, start in the lower left corner and work clockwise around the edge of the nail. Place a dot of each color on the nail and use a stylus to expand each drop into a half-circle. Start with Shellac Masquerade, then Rock Royalty. Finish the half-circles with Rose Bud, followed by Strawberry Smoothie. If needed, clean up your half-circles with a detail brush lightly moistened with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. Cure for 2 minutes.

Step 4
Use the stylus to apply small dots in a random pattern using Strawberry Smoothie, Rock Royalty and Tutti Frutti. Then lock for 10 seconds.

Step 5
Complete the design by placing tiny accent dots using Tutti
Frutti, Rock Royalty and Strawberry Smoothie and cure for 2 minutes.
Step 6 Apply a thin layer of Shellac UV Top Coat and cure for
2 minutes.

Step 7
Remove the top film with a plastic-backed, lint-free pad
soaked with 99% Isoprophyl Alcohol.
