So, velvet nails are definitely the new way to create a romantic yet hip look with nails. Regardless of the color you choose to make your nails in velvet, try to give the appearance of a velvety sheen. And best of all: You don’t necessarily need to go to the nail salon, just try out these simple instructions, with which you can design your nails in a very stylish velvet look!
Required accessories for velvet nails:
- Light pink (or any color) magnetic gel nail polish
- Darker pink magnetic gel polish optional
- Gel Base Coat
- nail cleaner
- Gel Top Coat
- UV LED lamp for gel nails
Magnetic gel nail polishes are used with a special magnet stick
And this is how it’s done:
- Begin by applying a coat of gel base coat to clean, prepped nails.
- When applying the primer, make sure your nails are polished, clean and dry. To ensure there is no excess oil on the nail beds, clean the nails with the nail cleaner.
- Cure your fingernails in the UV LED lamp after applying thin magnetic gel paint.
- To find out how long it takes to cure, look at the instructions on your LED lamp.
- Paint all your nails with an extra layer of color. Place the magnetic stick on the bottom corner before curing, then continue on the opposite top corner. Repeat this on all your nails.
- Cure in the LED lamp again once you have achieved the desired look.
- Then apply a high shine gel top coat to your nails to seal in the nail polish.
- Again, use your LED lamp to cure the gel top coat on your nails.
