3D Flower with Polygel

Step by Step

• 

  1. Preparation

  Start by pouring Cleanser into a Nail Art Crystal Glass. Then gather your flat brush with a spatula end, a Nail Art Palette, and your chosen Polygel colour. Next, squeeze a small amount of Polygel onto the spatula and place it on your Nail Art Palette. The amount you take from the tube will roughly match the size of your 3D flower petals—the more Polygel you squeeze out, the larger your flower will be. Please note that our Polygel formula can be a little difficult to squeeze out of the tube due to its firm consistency.

  Repeat this five times or more—depending on how many petals you want your flower to have.

  2. Apply Polygel to your nail

  Once you have the desired number of petals, place the small Polygel beads on the chosen nail in a circle, leaving a little space between each one. The placement does not have to be perfect – the most important thing is to avoid getting the product on the skin. It can be a good idea to dip your spatula in Cleanser and dab off any excess on a Lint-Free Pad when lifting your Polygel from the Nail Art Palette. This makes it easier for your Polygel to release from the spatula and stay in place on the nail.

  Once all the beads are in place, dip the brush side of your tool in Cleanser and dab off any excess liquid on a Lint-Free Pad. You can then start shaping the flower petals. It is important that you dab the product into place rather than pulling at it – otherwise, your Polygel may become flattened.

  If you find that your Polygel sticks to the brush bristles, simply dip it in Cleanser again and continue working until you have shaped five small, round petals on the nail.

  3. Sculpt your flower petals

  Once you have the five small round beads on the nail, take your Dotting Tool and dip it in Cleanser. Place it in the centre of one of the petals and drag it towards the centre to create a small indentation in the flower petal. Repeat this for all five petals. As you go, you can wipe off any excess product on a Lint-Free Pad and dip your Dotting Tool in Cleanser again as needed.

  Once you have created an indentation in all five petals, you will be left with five half-moon shapes that together form the outline of a flower. You can always adjust the shape with your brush if you wish.

  When you are happy with the result, cure the flower for 120 seconds in our UV/LED lamp.

  4. Apply your Gel Polish

  Once your flower has cured, you can apply Gel Polish over it to give it your desired color. We recommend taking a small amount of Gel Polish and placing it on your Nail Art Palette. Use a liner brush to apply the color precisely to the parts of the flower you want to color. Once you are happy with the result, cure the Gel Polish for 60-90 seconds under our UV/LED lamp.

  5. Apply your Top Coat

  Once you have cured your Gel Polish, you are ready to add your nail gems.

  To apply our nail gems, start by applying a thin layer of Top Coat to the nail where you want to place the gem. Do not cure the Top Coat yet.

  6. Apply rhinestones

  While your Top Coat is still wet, place the rhinestone on top of the Top Coat you have just applied. You can gently adjust the rhinestone until it is positioned exactly where you want it.

  Once the rhinestone is in place, cure your nails for 90 seconds under our UV/LED lamp.

  7. Apply your Top Coat

  Once you have cured your nails, all that’s left is to apply Top Coat. Apply it in the same way as your Base Coat and Gel Polish. However, our Top Coat does not leave a sticky layer after curing, so once you have applied your Top Coat, you can apply a little nail oil around the cuticles — and then your nails are ready. Now comes the really hard part: where will you share your new nails first? Instagram, TikTok or Facebook? We can’t wait to see the result.
