What are the gel nail design trends to watch in 2017?
Negative space gel nail designs
This negative space nail design was created for Vera Wang at New York fashion week. For this dark look a dark wine colour was applied in a centred strip, then finished with a matte top coat. This creates an incredible gel nail design with contrasting negative space.
We think this look is perfect for a glam night out and it wouldn't be fair if we didn't tell you how you can create the same gel nail look using your own SensatioNail products, so read on.
Using your SensatioNail application guide use the following:
- Clear base coat
- 1-2 coats of a nude colour, we recommend something similar to Babyboll Pink (sheer)
- Apply a dark colour like Midnight Rendezvous or Dusk till Dawn down the middle
- Finish off with our matte top coat
The new French gel nail design
How about this for jazzing up your usual French manicure? Its all about the shape in 2017, sharp and minimal. This design is achieved using two contrasting colours creating a new gel French manicure look.
We're loving this look, chic and modern. It only takes two colours to get started, see our quick guide below:
Using your SensatioNail application guide use the following.
- Clear base coat
- 1/2 coats of a nude colour, we recommend something similar to Fuzzy Navel
- Apply White Lily in an alternative French by going diagonally across the tip
- Finish off with our high gloss top coat
The Mod gel nail look
Looking for something a little different on the finger this valentines day? How about this new graphic art/mod gel nail look! Designed by Jeremy Scott who has never been afraid to be bold and always brilliant, it's certainly got something different going on.
This just screams fashion and if you're one of those people who tend to play it safe, we urge you to give it a try, may well be time to dust down that leather jacket to complete the look!
Using your SensatioNail application guide use the following.
- Clear base coat
- 2 coats of a red, we recommend Scarlet Red, Juicy Sangria to Spoiled Diva
- Apply Midnight Rendezvous as a dot at the bottom near the cuticle using a dotting tool or pencil eraser
- Finish off with our high gloss top coat
