Step 1: Apply 1-2 coats of E-249 Hazelnut Concealer, cure between layers.

Step 2: Using the Long Liner Brush and E-17 Bitter Chocolate, create a diagonal swirl, fill in and cure.

Step 3: Create a parallel swirl using the same method and E-88 Milk Chocolate, cure.

Step 4: Apply a matte top gel and cure.

Step 5: using a no-wipe clear art gel create a third swirl alongside the other two and sprinkle with brown glitter (I’m using Bronze by @youngnailsinc ), cure.

Step 6 (optional but recommended): apply a thin layer of E-0 Art Clear and cure to keep glitter from infiltrating your top coat and also to even out the design.

Step 7: Finish with a top gel, I’m using Nail Thoughts Glassy Top Gel, cure.
