Step by Step

  1. Step 1

    Apply 1 coat of Stay Classic or Stay Strong Base Coat. Cure for 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Apply a stripe of Paint the Tinsel Town Red to one side of the nail, and a stripe of My Color Wheel is Spinning to the center of the nail blending the two colors gently with the brush to create an ombre effect. Apply a stripe of Ready, Feté, Go to the opposite side of the nail, gently blending the colors where they meet. Cure for 30 seconds in the OPI LED Lamp.

    Pro Tip: When using the OPI GelColor brush from the bottle for blending, clean thoroughly with an OPI Expert Touch Nail Wipe and N.A.S. 99 Cleansing Solution before placing it back in the bottle to preserve the integrity of the color.
