essie How-To Wes Gordon S/S ’16

1. Apply first base base coat to clean, filed nails

2. Next, apply two coats of in the lobby, avoiding the moon at the cuticle area

3. Then, apply one coat of matte about you over in the lobby

4. To achieve the gothic ombre design, remove most of the polish from the devil’s advocate

brush and create upward streaks from the cuticle to the center of the nail

5. Finish by removing most of the polish from the gel.setter top coat brush and apply

directly on top of devil’s advocate to add high shine

Expert tip: gel.setter top coat gives a great 3-D wet effect when used
