1 2 3 4 5 6 Here's how you can do these nails: 1. Prep all of the nails. On the four accent nails, apply a thin layer of CNDÕs Retention+ Liquid and Powder with the new CND Additives in Icicles for added texture. 2. Using a small piece of window screen, press it onto the soft product to create texture. Pull it off before the product hardens completely. Lightly clean up the edges with a file. 3. Using CND Vinylux colors, lightly place drops of several different colors on the textured nail before it dries. 4. Use the screen to press the color into the nail. This allows the Vinylux colors to sink into the lines you created in step 2. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with more colors of Vinylux. 6. We recommend doing about three colors each time so you can really layer the colors into the texture. 7. For the remaining six nails, follow your normal Shellac application using Blue Rapture, Tinted Love, and Asphalt on alternating nails. The high-shine of the Shellac nails gives a nice contrast to the knittextured nails. 7 NOVEMBER 2013 | NAILS MAGAZINE | 103
