It groups 79 nail art listings DTK tags for winter and the holidays. You will find LAVIS chrome powders in the Aurora and classic ranges, flatback rhinestone grids, LDS painting gels and line art gels, A'DOR art items and stickers. Stock changes by listing, so check each product page before you plan a holiday menu around a single item, and keep a second option in mind for the busiest weeks.
Cure your colour, then apply a chrome base or a no-wipe top and cure it until the surface is dry and not sticky. Rub the chrome powder onto that cured surface with an applicator until the mirror effect appears, brush away the loose powder, then seal the nail with a top coat and cure again. Working on a sticky surface gives a cloudy finish.
They are gels, so they stay workable until you cure them. Paint or draw the design over cured colour with a fine brush, cure the design under your lamp, then seal the whole nail with a top coat. Thin strokes cure more evenly than thick ones, and a liner brush gives the cleanest lines for snowflakes, stripes and lettering.
Rhinestones are set into gel and cured under the lamp. Place each stone with a pick-up tool, cure, then seal around the base with a top coat so the edges stay closed. Keep the face of the stone clear of top coat when you can, since that is what catches the light. Each rhinestone listing names its grid size and colour.
Keep chrome jars closed when you are not using them, so the powder stays dry and free of dust. Store gels capped and away from your lamp and from sunny windows, because stray UV light can thicken gel in the bottle. Wipe the neck of each gel bottle before closing it so the cap does not stick.
