Italian professional polish brand Layla Cosmetics recently released its new Velvet Effect Nail Art line. With this product, millions of color fibers rest on the nails, turning them into soft, velvety landscapes. Twelve shades are available. Here’s how to perform this simple, trendsetting manicure:


1. Prep the nails and then apply one layer of polish. Layla Cosmetics’ Ceramic Effect #9 is used here.

2. Apply a second coat, one nail at a time.

3. While the nail is completely wet, quickly sprinkle Velvet Candy Touch by Layla Cosmetics onto the nail. Repeat this one nail at a time immediately after applying the second coat of polish.

4. Wait a couple of minutes and then clean the nail edges with a brush, outlining the nail shape. Lightly brush off the excess Velvet from the nail surface. Have clients wait an additional 10 minutes for the nails to fully dry.
