HOW-TO: Romantic Haze by CND
CND

A sweet, sparkly, sherbert-colored manicure, what more could anyone ask for? As majestic as a unicorn and as sweet as cotton candy, CND artists have designed this pastel gradient manicure, aptly called "romantic haze", using the brand's new spring/summer additives. 

STEP BY STEP:


STEP 1: P.R.E.P. the natural nail and apply a CND Tip. Apply a thin base layer of RETENTION+ Sculpting Powder Neutral Opaque and finish with the 180 side of the Hot Shot File.


STEP 2: Pick up a clear bead of RETENTION+ Liquid and Powder and dip into CND Additives Exhibition, and blend together on a piece of palette paper. Apply the bead to Zone 1, pressing towards Zone 2 and 3 to blend out the color slightly.


STEP 3: Repeat this technique with Lavender Whispers in Zone 3, pressing towards Zone 2 to blend the colors together. Finish with the 180 side of the Hot Shot File if needed.


STEP 4: Mix a small amount of BRISA Gloss with Additives Exhibition and apply to the nail. Cure for one minute in the CND LED Lamp.


STEP 5: Wipe with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to remove top film.
