We're going to do a black and pink cross over with a little bit of black detail. We've already put the tip on this nail and we've already prepped, and dehydrated and primed it, so if you're not sure take a look back at those videos and do that first. So, were going to start by picking up the hot pink and creating a corner of our smile line with it. We've already got the non-blending tips there so it's easier to create your smile line, But the this line here needs to be nice and straight and crisp. You're then going to fill the rest of your free edge in with black. Nice and careful when you button it up to that pink so that you don't go over it, then use the belly of your brush to press it all down and make it nice and even. We're now going to cap this whole nail in pink acrylic. And I'm wiping my brush quite a bit  because when we work with black it can bleed and so it can go into your other colours. So keep wiping your brush to make sure that doesn't happen. Don't forget when you're doing zone three to tilt your client's finger down so it stops that acrylic going back into the client's cuticle. We're going to let that nail set a little bit and then we're going to give it a pinch. This nail's now ready to pinch so we're going to place your pinching tool on and then you can leave it. Okay, so that nail's now been pinched and we can take our pinching tool away. And we just need to file this nail. So we're going to do a little bit of hand painted work on this nail so we need to have a smooth  surface, so we're just going to white block over it. Get rid of your dust. We're going to be using black paint. We're just going to create some little swirls on to the nail. Finishing off with some little dots. Let that paint dry and then we can add our gel top coat. You can pop that finger in to the lamp for two minutes, we're just going to apply a small amount of cuticle oil and massage it in and that nail's finished.
