Here, she shares how to paint a salon-friendly football pitch style on a nail.
Step 1
Prep the nail and apply two coats of green gel polish, curing after each application.
Step 2
Using a white gel paint and fine liner brush, paint a horizontal line across the nail to divide it in half. Cure.
Step 3
Continuing with the white gel shade and brush, paint box shapes at the top and bottom of the nail to represent the penalty and goal areas. Cure.
Step 4
Use a dotting tool and the white gel paint to add the centre and penalty marks to the field design. Cure.
Step 5
With the white gel paint and fine liner brush, paint a circle shape around the middle mark to create the centre circle. Cure.
Step 6
Using a dotting tool and your choice of gel paint (I chose blue), add 11 dots to create the formation of the first team’s players. Cure.
Step 7
Using a dotting tool and your choice of gel paint (I chose yellow), add 11 dots to create the formation of the second team’s players. Cure.
Step 8
Apply a glossy top coat and cure.
