Tools and materials: 

Applying a base gel

1. Base gel

Apply a thin layer of base gel to each nail, making sure to cap the edges to prevent chipping. Cure under a UV/LED lamp according to the product's instructions (usually about 30-60 seconds).

Applying a black base

2. Black base

Apply a thin, even layer of black gel polish to each nail. Cure under the lamp for the recommended time (usually 60 seconds). For full opacity, apply a second coat of black gel polish and cure again.

Applying a topcoat

3. Topcoat

Once the black base color is fully cured, apply a layer of matte topcoat. Cure under the lamp for the specified time.

Adding glitter

4. 3D glitter paint gel

Using a detail brush, apply the 3D glitter paint gel to your nails. You can create any design you like. Cure under the lamp for the recommended time. The 3D effect will give your nails a stunning, textured look.


It is not recommended to apply a topcoat over the 3D glitter paint gel, as it will affect the 3D effect.
