Refill with me: From palm on the beach to French

Welcome back!

Today I want to offer you a new type of article!

I will show you the various steps of the refill with various photos.

Let’s start!

Before

This is the first of my nail: a reconstruction with tip, with a design created with gel colors.

This was the result, just created.

I kept it for 30 days, and then decided it was time for the refill.

Here’s how it looked.

Change Form

The first thing I chose to do was to shorten the nail and change its shape. I went from a square to a round one.

I ran it all with an 80 file.

Color Removal

The next step was to remove the color, lower the structure and eliminate any lifts. I also did this with an 80 file.

Nail preparation

After removing the old one, it’s time to prepare for the new product.

So I pushed and removed the cuticles, matted the new portion of nails and applied nail prep, primer and the base for the gel.

Cover

Since I want to create a deep french (if you want to know the details I invite you to read my last article), it’s time to apply the pink gel cover.

Filings

After curing and cleansing, I start giving a hint of structure and adjust the various volumes.

French colored

Following the line already created with the cover, I apply the color to create the french edge.

Glitter

In order not to make the french boring, I decide to apply glitter at will.

Clear builder

To seal the color and mix it with the cover, I make a layer of clear gel builder over the entire nail, and once cured, I finish filing it, to get the right structure.

Top Coat

Once all the steps have been completed, it is time to polish and seal the nail.

Once this step is done, Design can also be finished but if you follow me for a while you can imagine that sober things are not for me in fact ..

Decorations

I also decided to apply some decorations, including a bead and some rhinestones.

Not happy, I also designed doodles with white.

After

And here is the final result.

Although my nails are all different, they are not bad between them, because they are all full of sparkle ✨😂.

That’s all, I hope you enjoyed this new type of article.
