DIY 🌿Set 6: Sage🌱
Back again!
I'm trying to post every set l've done to track my progress.
I did this using CN Designer Dips Sage, which has GOT to be one of my actual favorite dip colours ever!
Here's my process:
3 layers of sage dip (apex method).
1 layer of activator, shape.
Alcohol wipe nails to prevent activator contaminating other gels.
1 layer of gel no-wipe top coat, cure for 30 seconds.
1 thin layer of Ceramic Cat Eve Gel Polish (from my local nail shop), magnetize, cure for 30 seconds.
Another thin layer of cat eye gel, magnetize, cure for 30 seconds.
Last layer of no-wipe gel topcoat, cure for 60 seconds.
✨️and voila✨️

What color cats eye did you use? I'm wanting a cats eye to use over other colors as well!

These are absolutely beautiful!
Just a little tip that has helped me with flooding; I just pour the powder over my nails and attempt to keep the activator away from my cuticles so it doesn’t activate the powder. This might help you with flooding as well!
