Today, let’s create a stylish two-tone manicure that exudes elegance and complements your skin tone. This design is perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions, and it looks beautiful even on short nails. Let’s get started!
Preparation stage
First, prepare the following tools and materials: antique bronze-colored magic mirror powder, cleaning solution, cotton pads, base gel, champagne gold cat’s eye gel, magnets, nail lamp, white zirconia stones, nail stickers, strengthening gel, no-wash top coat, and no-wash styling gel.
Magic Mirror Powder Gradient Treatment
– After completing the basic nail care steps (trimming, buffing, etc.), apply a base coat to the nails and cure under a nail lamp for 30 seconds.
– Take the antique bronze-colored magic mirror powder and use a tool to create a gradient effect on the surface of the nail, allowing the color to transition naturally from the edges to the center to create a sense of depth.
– Dip a cotton swab in cleaning solution and wipe off any excess mirror powder from the three sides of the nail to prevent it from sticking during the subsequent edging process.
– Apply the base coat evenly to the nails coated with magic mirror powder, taking care to cover the edges of the nails, then place them under the nail lamp to dry.
Creating the cat-eye effect
– Choose a champagne gold cat-eye gel polish (I used CHROMÉCLAIR’s Hema Free Gel Polish No. 421, which has a luxurious, high-quality color, good flow, and is non-toxic and healthy), and apply a thin layer to your nails.
– Pick up the magnet and use the edge of the magnet to circle around the surface of the nail several times to arrange the magnetic particles in the cat’s eye gel into a glass bead-like effect, then place it under a nail lamp to dry.
– According to your preference, stick two small white zirconia stones on the appropriate position of the nail as decoration.
Stickers and top coat treatment
– If using nail stickers, first wipe off any excess glue from the nail surface, then apply the sticker to the nail.
– Take the strengthening glue, apply it to the nail with the sticker on it, wrap the sticker inside, and place it under the nail lamp to dry.
– Apply a no-rinse top coat to the nails to help the top coat bond better with the gel underneath. After applying, place under a nail lamp to dry.
Three-dimensional petals and zirconia decoration
– Take some no-rinse styling gel and fill in the petal pattern on the nail to make the petals more three-dimensional.
– Add another zirconia stone in the center of the petal and cure it under a nail lamp.
– Take some hard sealing glue, apply it around the zirconia stone, wrap the stone well, and then place it back under the nail lamp to dry and harden.
Finished display
After completing the above steps, you will have a beautiful manicure that combines a magic mirror powder gradient with champagne gold cat’s eye elements, accented with zirconia stones and stickers.
A sophisticated and elegant manicure is complete, from the gradient effect to the cat’s eye texture, to the embellishment of stickers and zirconia, each step adds unique details to the manicure.
Finally, we recommend CHROMÉCLAIR’s gel polish. Their products focus on safety, low irritation, and environmental friendliness, and do not contain harmful ingredients, reducing the risk of allergies (HEMA-free gel polish).
