Design using gel jelly: step-by-step technology with photos

In a new step-by-step technology, Anna Avramenko tells and shows how to use jelly gel to create beautiful designs. We create a luxurious manicure using colored stained glass gel paints and gel jelly using the “reaper” technique. We complement the design with beads and yuca flakes.

Step 1. Using the standard procedure, we prepare a natural nail for modeling. Using hardware techniques, we prepare the cuticle area. Apply auxiliary liquids.

Step 2. Install the template. Using transparent modeling gel, we lay out a thin base in the shape of a modern almond. Dry in a lamp for 10–15 seconds. and press on.

Step 3. Apply camouflage gel to the nail bed. Dry it in a lamp for 60 to 120 seconds. depending on the type of lamp. We produce sawdust of the bed. The stock can be filed with a 100 x 100 grit file. Milling cutters can also be used to achieve a sharper smile.

Step 4. Use black gel paint to tint the edge of the nail bed to obtain a darker color. Using a semi-dry brush, stretch it onto the backing.

IMPORTANT! Remember that you need to work with black color very carefully.

Step 5. Having previously prepared the purple and pink gel for laying out, mix the transparent modeling gel and colored stained glass gel paints. In percentage terms, it is 90% transparent and 10% color. We stretch from purple to pink (using the “wet” technique).

Step 6. Use thick white jelly to create a “reaper”. Using cling film “wet” we create effects on the white, undried gel. Dry with cling film in a lamp for 30 seconds, then remove the film and dry for 60 seconds. in the lamp. We beat yuca flakes onto the surface for shine and shimmer. You can also use mica, broken glass .

Step 7. After coating the center of the flower with transparent gel, we fix the beads on it. It is important to place the beads correctly so that they do not interfere with the sawdust.

Step 8. Cover the free edge of the nail with transparent gel, dry in a lamp for 60 to 120 seconds. We produce sawdust according to a given shape. Cover the finished nail with finishing gel and dry it in a lamp.
