Tortoiseshell nail art tutorial

Step 7

Step by Step

Team Lecenté share a tutorial for creating on-trend tortie tips…

You will need the following products, available via lecente.com:

  • Lecenté Create UV/LED Lamp.
  • Lecenté Original Gel Polish Base Coat V2.
  • Lecenté Create Jelly Gel Polish in Boardwalk.
  • Lecenté Foil Gel.
  • Lecenté Explorer Nail Foil.
  • Lecenté Original Gel Polish Top Coat.
Step 1
Prep the nails and apply Lecenté Original Gel Polish Base Coat V2. Cure before adding a layer of Create Jelly Gel Polish in Boardwalk. Cure again.
Step 2
Apply a layer of Lecenté Foil Gel and cure for 2 minutes in the Lecenté Create UV/LED Lamp.
Step 3
Cut the Explorer Nail Foil into small squares - slightly larger than the nail bed.
Step 4
Find the correct side of the transfer foil (Lecenté recommends doing a test patch on a nail tip, then writing a note on the far end of the foil to show which side to use). Press foil onto the tacky Foil Gel layer and smooth out.
Step 5
Repeat steps 2 and 4 if extra coverage is needed.
Step 6
Apply Lecenté Original Gel Polish Top Coat and cure to finish.
