Black Lace by CND
Beautiful nails are everywhere at holiday time, and clients don’t want to be left out! Make sure you can exceed expectations no matter what the client chooses—an elegant long-wear Shellac look from CND, a nail art design created with Gelish’s Don’t Get Your Tinsel in a Tangle striping tape, the sparkly looks made easy with Morgan Taylor’s Mini Glitter 4-Pack or the classic, rich shades that all the brands show during this season.
GET THE "BLACK LACE" LOOK:
STEP 1: Apply a thin layer of Shellac Base Coat. Cure for 10 seconds in the CND LED Lamp.
