Step by Step using all Creative Nail Design products


The first step I chose was to sanitize my models hands as well as my own with Cool Blue.
I manicured the nails with Cuticle Remover and a curette to remove cuticle from the surface of the nail plate, gently pushing her eponychium back. I then rinsed the nails.
I shaped her free edge straight across to ready the nails for sculpting. Then I removed the shine with a Koala 240 grit buffer.
I prepped the nail with Scrubfresh to dehydrate the nail plate and remove any dust or particles. 
I fitted each nail with a Performance Form before each time I sculpted a nail.
I used a Sculptor brush, Perfect Color White and Perfect Color Pink along with Retention+ to sculp each nail. I also used Perfect Color Clear to create more of an upper arch instead of pink to keep it from clouding the white. 
After each placement of a form on the following nail, I went back to the previous nail, remove the form while the nail was still setting up, and gently pushed the sides in to sharpen my “c” curve. 
I removed the last form and started with a Kanga 240 grit abrasive to shape the nail. I chose to shape the nails to compliment her cuticle line. 
Once I shaped the nail and removed any slight humps or bumps, I then used a Koala 240 grit buffer to smooth the entire surface. I then applied SolarOil to each nail and used the 1200 grit side of the Koala buffer to oil buff. 
I removed the excess oil and used a Girlfriend 3-way buffer to bring the nails to a high shine. 
I used Company Red enamel on two nails for the close up shot.
