step 1: hydrate with apricot oil.

step 2: clean then prep nails with your favourite essie base coat.

step 3: polish the nail with two coats of bikini so teeny.

step 4: using a liner brush dipped in no more film, draw a C shape around the outer side of the nail. pro tip: roll the brush in your fingers while drawing so the lines have a more natural curve.

step 5: repeat using pret-a-surfer and jamaica me crazy as you work towards the centre of the C shape. allow for some of the bikini so teeny to peek through.

step 6: repeat the order of colours again until you reach the centre of the C.

step 7: using no place like chrome, fill in the open space. let it dry and dot with a layer of set in stones.

step 8: top with a coat of essie gel setter.
