The Gel Bottle Rust Flashing Pigment

SUGARING TECHNIQUE

This is a nail art technique where glitter powder is added to the nails over the topcoat to create a textured look.

STEP 1: Follow our TGB Gel Polish/BIAB™ Application Guide up to the topcoat section.

STEP 2: Once you have applied your two coats of gel polish — or applied your BIAB™ of choice and cured — apply one layer of topcoat. Don’t cure this layer yet.

STEP 3: Take your Flashing Pigment and ProPrep tool (or anything you can use to scoop the powder up) and sprinkle the powder over the uncured gel topcoat. 

STEP 4: Once the nail is covered in your chosen Flashing Pigment powder, cure in the Light The Way Nail Lamp for 60 seconds.

STEP 5: Dust off any excess pigment using your TGB Dusting Brush. STEP 6: Finish with the Cuticle Essence, massaging upwards to avoid getting any oil on the nail.
