Choose your base colour and lightly buff the colour until it is a soft, matt base.
Mix you white liner gel with a very small amount of foil gel, this helps the pigments stick better to the design. Then do small roses and swirls creating a framework that will sit around your centrepiece.
Lightly dust your pigments onto your design. Try to do this as lightly as possible, so that your centre design will pop more. Then cover the entire design with a matt top coat.
Using the same gel mix, create your centre design, cure and layer the design a second time again before applying your pigments. Lightly dust off and cover only the centre design with a gloss top coat.
