There are two different ways to achieve a velvet manicure. The first is to use velvet powder for gel nails. To reproduce the desired effect, here are the 4 steps to remember:

  • Prepare your hands by filing your nails, pushing back the cuticles with an electric nail drill.
  • Apply a base before dipping your nails in the colored powder of your choice.  
  • Between two coats of activator, clean your nails with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol.
  • Don’t forget to apply the top coat, then use a nourishing oil on the cuticles after drying.
