		Use a paper hole puncher to punch out a hole in the tip. Apply Star Nail gel and gold mylar. Cure. Apply two more coats of clear gel. Cure, wipe, file, and buff.
		Using an electric file, make a slit at the top and bottom of the punched-out hole.
		Cut wire and place a pretty bead of the client’s choice onto it. Place the wire, and apply gel on either side to hold the wire in place. Cure, then wipe (make sure the bead spins). Add Cina flower decals around the punched-out hole. Apply top coat.
