How to create sun-kissed nails

  1. File your nails and take care of your cuticles. Prepare them for further work with a primer coat.
  2. Use three different polishes on each nail. Shimmering Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip in the shade nude shimmer, orange OPI Your Way Nail Lacquer in the glitter shade, and blue OPI Infinite Shine Power of Hue, in the shade sky true to yourself.
  3. Combine these three colours together and create an abstract "painting".
  4. Apply NEONAIL Effect Chrome Flakes with tweezers to the not-yet-dry paint.
  5. Set it with a top coat nail polish.
