Reverse Black Matte French Manicure
With nails being the hot new accessory, why not give your clients a reversed French manicure? No, not the 1998 version of the French manicures…a new and improved one, similar to what celebrity Jessica Biel did at the Total Recall premiere in Los Angeles or the Spring/Summer fashion shows at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Layla has just launched a new matte textured nail polish called Soft Touch and Ceramic Effects which can help you to achieve the look below on your clients in three easy steps.
STEPS:
STEP 1: Apply Layla’s Soft Touch to a clean nail bed that has been filed down, no top coat needed.
STEP 2: Apply a second coat of Noir Black.
STEP 3: Just to the tip apply the Layla Ceramics Effect in Black Star.
