How to create orange nails with design
When you want to create orange nails with design, start by preparing your natural nails. File them into shape, push back the cuticles, and cleanse the nail plate. Then apply a thin layer of Base Coat and cure it in your UV/LED lamp.
Now you’re ready to apply your orange Gel Polish. Apply it in thin layers and cure each layer in the lamp. Once you’re happy with the color, you can start adding your design with Nail Art tools or other colors. Always finish with Top Coat for a glossy finish and long-lasting wear.
