Creative Nail Design is known for the innovative nail designs they create for elite fashion shows and magazine editorials. Here they modify one of their popular designs for use in the salon. Created with customized Mosaic Powders and rhinestones, this jewel-encrusted design is simple to create and easy to wear. Mix and match Mosaic, Metro, Perfect Color, and Ultra powders to add interest, broaden your color palette, and create unique designs.

1. Custom blend Mosaic Black Powder and Perfect Color White Powder to create a gun-metal gray color. Sculpt a medium-length, almond-shaped enhancement on a Performance form. Remove the form and shape and buff the nail.

2. Apply a thin coat of Toughen Up to the entire nail.

3. Place gems of various sizes and shapes along the side of the nail.

4. Finish with one coat of Super Shiney.
