Get the Look

Step 1
Before you begin, prep nails using our OPI Salon Pro Basics protocol. Shake all bottles for 30–60 seconds to blend. Apply one thin layer of Super Base (or Super Strong) Base Coat and cure for 30 seconds, or use GELevate™ soft gel tips and a nude GELevate 4-in-1 Builder shade as your base–you can skip Baby Take a Vow if you go this route.
Step 2
Apply Baby, Take a Vow and cure for 30 secs. Repeat for full coverage.
Step 3
Using a liner brush and Sky Blue’s the Limit, create a French-style smile line. Do not cure yet.
Step 4
Repeat Step 2 with Lime of My Life, Sea-ze the Day, Ultra Violet Daze, Catch a Wave of Happiness, and Glowin’ on Vacay, layering each color above the previous. Do not cure between shades.
Step 5
With a clean detail brush, gently drag through the uncured colors from the smile line toward the tip to create a marbled gradient. Do not cure yet.
Step 6
Repeat the drag motion as needed for balance. Cure for 30 secs.
Step 7
Finish with one coat of Super Gloss No-Wipe Top Coat. Cure 30 seconds. Remove gel residue with N.A.S. 99 Cleansing Solution and an Expert Touch Nail Wipe. Finish by massaging Nature Strong Glow Up Nail & Cuticle Oil into the base of each nail.
