Give it a Swirl
Linework nail art on point. Sharp lines paint an optical nail-lusion.
Step by Step
Step
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
Apply a thin coat of Alpine Snow® to the nail. Cure for 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light. Repeat for coverage.
Step
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
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
Create additional curved lines moving outward from the larger oval. Thicken the lines consistently to create the optical illusion. Flashcure as needed.
Step
Create additional lines radiating up from the smaller oval. Cure for 30 seconds.
Step
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.
