It's one of the 2012 bundle moster plates, I can't look at which oe as it's at the salon sorry x
I started with a short nail, almost no free edge.
Then sculpted with Clear CND L&P Retention+
The black is done with Shellac Blackpool, to get a clean edge, i used a brush dipped in bluescrub to tighten up.
cure and apply second layer Blacpool.
Cure.
Then i used my e-file to drill a little circle to apply my Swarovski crystal. That way it's flatter
but i don't think it's a "must" After applying the second crystal, topcoat with Brisa topcoat, cure and done.
Will you be able to do your right hand yourself? I'm not ;-)

I use eco soak off gels and its aubergine. My clients love this gel, I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to move to shellac and train to use shellac but this works well so do I change when something's working because of the name or stick to what my clients love?!
Eva remember this design...I'm booking in next time I'm down your way

Sorry to jump in just thought I would be helpful if I can
I am guessing it is done over a normal rockstar design (with top coat I assume?) but that style of carving looks to me to be very similar to that of the Fingernail Fixer's technique of carving out of a non cured layer of colour firstly using a brush for the wider sections and then finishing off the detail using a dotting tool.. does that make sense?
This video has carving with glitter underneath CND Shellac art combining techniques - YouTube
And this one shows the carving that is very similar style of the one you were asking about I hope! Easy and Not as Easy Shellac for NAILS - YouTube
(my daughter is at nursery so I have time to kill!!
Thank you SO much. Can't wait to try it!! Xx

I have a little query that hopefully somebody can help me with...
When you're doing sculpts or l&p with gel polish/shellac, what are your clients re-booking for? Do you just do normal rebalances, or are your clients wanting completely new designs?
I'm curious as I've recently started practising sculpting again, and have practised this week on friends, but when I come to offer it as a service to my clients, I don't think they'll want them rebalanced, as a lot of my clients always go for a completely new design each time.
Is there a way or removing the gel polish/shellac without removing the enhancement?
Sorry if this is a really stupid question!! I covered rebalancing in my original training, but nail art wasn't as popular in my wee salon as what it is now, and I'm just a bit unsure of what to do :-/ xx

One of my clients today, black glitter tip French with Swarovskis over Brisa lite xx x
Sarah22, I sculpt and also apply shellac on top, and as the L&P should be rebalanced every 2 weeks, I just file the shellac off the top of the enhancement and continue a rebalance and application as usual. I haven't had a client want to change their polish in between rebalances and they go of something new each time xxx

You would just file off the shellac or gel polish then rebalance the enhancement then apply different shellac colour and any art again.
