NTNA WEEK 5- ENTITY

Prep and clean the natural nails and apply forms  

To form structure apply a thin layer of acrylic from cuticle to free edge, thin light sand with a medium grit sanding band this is to make a rough surface for the gel to adhere  

Using a builder gel and CND'S shellac in "black pool" sculpt onto the base of the nail. This is to build your enhancement. Add 2 layers cure in between coats. Then add 2 coats of the "black pool" curing 120 secs between coats to make the black bold.  

Apply a matte gel top coat to the black. Cure. Then start sculpting 3d flames using acrylic. Using the flames as a guide, shape the nails with an e-file.  

Using white acrylic paint, paint the flames. This is to make the colors used for the flames brighter.  

With a red and yellow acrylic paint your 3d flames. Blend the colors to give a real flame appearance. Then outline the flames where necessary with a fine art brush and black acrylic paint.  

With acrylic paint paint a candle on the thumb. apply matte gel coat to entire thumb then add clear builder gel over flame to make it appear a bit 3d.  

Apply black gel polish to your accent nails, buff; apply the entity logo and 10 year using acrylic paint. Use a matte polish for the logos and apply a gel top coat to the black area around the logo. Then cure.  

Last apply a grey gel polish to the top of the candle to give it a 3d melting look and you’re done
