How to wear jewel tones

Sheer gel needs one extra habit: build in thin layers.

1. 1. One-coat glass EasyA single thin coat of a Jewel Gel shade shows the natural nail through the color.
2. 2. Layered depth BuildAdd a second or third thin coat to deepen the color. Cure each coat.
3. 3. Over white or nude BrightA white or nude ground under the jewel color makes it brighter.
4. 4. Over black DeepA black ground pulls jewel colors deep and dark.
5. 5. Magnetic jewel MagnetPull a magnet over Mystical gel or Aurora cat eye for a galaxy shimmer.
6. 6. Holiday sparkle FlakesAdd flakes or a gold chrome accent on top for a holiday set. See Flake Nails and Gold Nails.
