Using your imagination and other tools, you can accomplish cute nail art by hand with any of our gel polish colors.

We will break it down step by step to show you how simple it can be for any level of ability to accomplish nail art.

Apply a second coat of 061 Juke Box Money and, before curing, use a dotting tool and place 4 dots of KoKo and Claire 102 Enlighten Mint into the uncured gel.

From the top of each dot, drag the tip of the Detailer Brush through
to the center of the dots. This will create the look of leaves on a four

Create a smaller four leaf clover on the lower part of the nail using
the same steps.
