Cool Gel Nail Design Ideas You Should Try

Before You Begin…

Before you get started, it is important to gather the necessary tools and equipment to do these gel nail design ideas. Here’s what you need:

  • UV lamp
  • Base coat
  • Gel top coat
  • Brush
  • Gel polishes

Applying the Gel Nails

Whenever you’re doing gel nails, begin by filing and trimming your nails first since you don’t want to make alterations when you’re done designing. Also, use a cuticle remover to push back your cuticles and for a cleaner look (this is entirely optional).

Next, file off the top layer of your nails and wipe it off with rubbing alcohol. Once the preparations above are done, you can now begin applying the base coat.

Once done, put your nails inside the UV lamp. It is important to set the curing time to 30 seconds to achieve optimum results.

Then, begin by applying your desired polish. Once you’re done with the first coating, have it cured once again.

Repeat the process until the polish looks thick and colorful. Finish it off with the gel top coat.

Now that you know how to apply gel nails, let’s look at some of the easiest and most gorgeous designs you can try.

1. Black and White

You can also alternate with the color plum, or any hues from blues to reds as long as it matches your skin tone and personal preferences.
