Make it Reign

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Prep those nails! Follow our OPI Salon Pro prep basics.

Apply a thin layer of Clear Acrylic to the nail and create an extension using a form or a nail tip.

Using Liquid Perfection and Powder Perfection Bathtime Bubbly, create and place a medium bead in the nail’s center. Press upward toward the cuticle to form a reverse French. Let set 4–6 minutes.

Pick up a bead of Queens Rule. Apply it to the free edge of the nail and sculpt into a French smile line. Allow to set.

File the nail to shape and refine the surface with a 180-grit file. Remove the dust and cleanse with a lint-free wipe saturated with N.A.S. 99.

Apply a coat of GelColor No-Wipe Top Coat. Cure for 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light.

Use GELevate Builder Gel to fill a silicone crown mold. Cure for 30 seconds and cleanse the surface with a lint-free wipe saturated in N.A.S. 99.

Gently remove the crown from the mold with a pair of tweezers and dust the textured side of the crown with gold chrome powder using a flat brush.

Apply a bead of GELevate to the center of the nail and adhere the crown to the nail by flash curing in the OPI Lightening Flash Cure Light. Once in place, cure for 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light.

Apply a small amount of GELevate to the top and bottom of the crown. Place two small rhinestones to the crown and cure for 30 seconds.

Apply a coat of GelColor No-Wipe Top Coat to the crown, making sure to seal on any builder. Cure for 30 seconds.

Apply Glow Up Nail & Cuticle Oil to the base of each nail and massage in.
