How-To:

  1. Prep and manicure the natural nails, then apply Neutral Maisie Gel-X Tips with the Presto X Aprés Extend Gel.
  2.  Cut and file the tips into a short natural almond shape. These tips are the perfect color, so there's no need to paint them for this look.
  3. Next, sprinkle silver flakes onto an uncured top coat. Cure, then apply another layer of top coat for extra shine.
