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.
