Products & tools

• Regular air-dry polish
• Base coat and top coat
• Nail file

Steps

1. Gently shape the free edge; leave the cuticles intact.
2. Start with clean, dry nails. Apply base coat according to its label.
3. Apply thin coats of your chosen regular polish and let each layer dry.
4. Choose a ready-made regular air-dry shimmer or metallic polish close to the reference palette and apply thin even coats. This captures the color mood only: mirror chrome, magnetic depth, airbrushed auras, relief and extensions need a separate salon discussion.
5. Add top coat following its label and allow enough drying time.

Tips

• Ask to see the magnetic rose finish moved under light; a broad glow should be visible without a sharp stripe.
• Dusty rose velvet. Use this original concept as a visual reference. The home version uses regular polish and does not reproduce extensions, raised decorations or specialist salon effects.

Before you begin

• Use only regular air-dry polish for this guide. Follow the product labels, ventilate the room and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use damaged or painful nails.
