Give it a Swirl
Linework nail art on point. Sharp lines paint an optical nail-lusion.
Step by Step
Step 1
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Prep those nails! Follow our OPI PRO Salon Service Nail Prep Step-by-Steps. Apply a coat of GelColor Super Base Base Coat and cure for 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light Gel Lamp.
Step 2
Apply a thin coat of Alpine Snow® to the nail. Cure for 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light. Repeat for coverage.
Step 3
Dip a detail brush in BlackOnyx® / Lady in Black and create a partial oval shape, thicken the line at the top of the curve as it descends down and off the nail. Flashcure for 5 seconds.
Step 4
With a detail brush and Black Onyx® / Lady inBlack, create a second curved line in the center curving away from the first. Thicken the line, tapering thin at the end. Flash cure for 5 seconds.
Step 5
Create additional curved lines moving outward from the larger oval. Thicken the lines consistently to create the optical illusion. Flashcure as needed.
Step 6
Create additional lines radiating up from the smaller oval. Cure for 30 seconds.
Step 7
Apply a coat of GelColor Super Gloss Top Coat and cure for 30 seconds. Remove gel residue with a nail wipe saturated with N.A.S. 99 Nail Cleansing Solution. Apply ProSpa Nail & Cuticle Oil to the base of each nail and massage in.
