This time, we are creating a fresh nail design called “The Wizard of Oz,” which uses black as the base color and green elements to create a unique and refreshing style that is perfect for those who pursue a natural and refined look.
Step 1: Base color and cat’s eye effect
First, apply black gel polish as the base color (here, we are still using our old friend CHROMÉCLAIR’s Hema Free Gel Polish No. 03, which has good fluidity and can be applied evenly even by beginners).
Once dry, apply green cat’s eye gel polish.
Use a magnet to draw circles around the edges of your nails, creating a three-dimensional light and shadow effect similar to “glass beads.”
Then cure this layer of gel polish under a lamp to make the cat’s eye texture more durable.
Step 2: Preparing the transfer pattern
Select a nail transfer steel plate with a small leaf pattern, take some light green gel polish, and use a scraper to spread the gel polish evenly over the pattern on the steel plate, ensuring that the grooves of the pattern are filled with gel polish to prepare for the subsequent transfer of a clear pattern.
Step 3: Pattern Transfer and Fixing
Press the transfer glue onto the patterned area of the steel plate to remove the leaf pattern with green gel polish. After selecting a suitable position on the nail surface, press the stamp with the pattern onto the nail surface, ensuring that the pattern fits perfectly with the nail surface.
After completing the backlighting, the transfer pattern is firmly fixed to the nail.
Step 4: Top Coat for Shine
Finally, apply a shiny top coat to give your nails extra shine and protect the previous designs and gel polish layers.
After applying the top coat, cure it again under the lamp to enhance the durability of the entire manicure.
Conclusion
This “Wizard of Oz” manicure is now complete. The black base color is not dull at all, and the green cat’s eye and leaf patterns create a fresh atmosphere. Under polarized light, it also presents a different kind of beautiful luster, adding a natural and refined feel to your fingertips.
