GET THE LOOK

 1. Paint a deep blue base. Follow with a matte top coat and cure. Use a high-pigment white gel to sketch Captain Hook, then file in the colors of Captain Hook’s face.

 2. Once the base colors are applied, add shadows and shade using gel colors thinned with alcohol or acetone, then use a high-pigment black gel to outline Captain Hook’s face. Paint his hat a deep, dark red, and highlight it with a deep fuchsia. Apply a matte or glossy top coat to make Captain Hook come to life.
