We all love sparkly smile lines so here is a tutorial/ step by step for fabby Chrimbo nails with a little bit of 3d holly too



Step 1- prep and tip application
Prep nails as normal
purify hands, push cuticles back, shorten natural nail length, remove shine and etch nail with a grey fox pro file (180 grit), apply 2 coats of EZBond (natural nail dehydrator and deep cleanser)
Apply correctly sized Perfection Glass Tip, shorten to desired length and gently buff the tip with a sand shark pro buffer (240 grit) to remove the shine
dust any filing with a sanitized manicure brush
Apply one coat of primer v sparingly to the nail plate (not on the tip) making sure you do nt get any on the skin and let it dry to a chalky white


Step 2 - glitter smile and product application
apply a small amount of Roll Out The Red Carpet (from the Boogie Nights Walk of Fame collection) along the smile line of the perfection tip and blend it down the free edge
apply competion pink to the nail bed and cap the free edge and glitter smile line with a polymer clear making sure that you have reinforced the stress area




Step 3 - enhancing the c curve and finishing
when the product is in its molding stage using your thumb nails or sani tongs (pinching tweezer) pinch in the c curve making sure you pinch the whole nail and hold the pinch til the product had set as the nail is tipped, other wise the tip can pop back and lose the pinched structure
Finish the nails and buff to a high shine using a white tiger pro file (100 grit) to shape the free edge, a grey wolf (150 grit) to contour the nail, a grey fox (180 grit) to remove any demarcations followed by a sand shark pro buffer (240 grit) apply a small amount of essential oil plus, rub in and using a snow monkey pro buffer and miracle shine combo buff to a high shine
