Create Combo Brush: Fine Liner 4mm & 7mm.
Gel Polishes in Soft Mauve, Bunny, Sweet Pea & French White.
Gel Polish Top Coat (Non-Wipe).

Step 1

Prep the nail and apply one coat of sheer nude gel polish. Cure, then use the Create Combo Brush and Halo Gel Polish in Soft Mauve to paint a small teardrop shape slightly above the centre of the nail. Cure for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Use Halo Gel Polish in Bunny to create a soft C-shape on each side of the purple teardrop. Cure for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Using Halo Gel Polish in Sweet Pea, paint a thin vertical line from the base of the purple teardrop. Then add two leaf strokes at the bottom of the line. Cure for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Use the Create Combo Brush and Halo Gel Polish in French White to paint a thin oval outline around the tulip. Leave an even gap so it looks intentional, then cure for 30 seconds. TOP TIP: Anchor your hand (pinkie to table) and turn the finger, not your brush, when painting the oval, as you’ll achieve a smoother shape.

Step 5

Use French White and the Create Combo Brush to add tiny looped scallops around the oval. To do this, touch the oval outline, make a small loop outwards then return to the line. Repeat all the way round before curing. Finish with Halo Gel Polish Top Coat (Non-Wipe) and cure for 30 seconds.
