Step 2: Using a short nail art brush (Fine Liner), add small “blobs” of a baby blue gel polish (Daydreamer) and blend them out using a little Prep & Clean on your brush with quick dabbing motions. Once you’re happy, cure and repeat the process with a jelly lavender (Utopia), filling in some of the gaps and layering on top of the blue in sections. Cure.

Step 4: Using a silver gel paint (Silver Slippers) and a fine detail brush (2-in-1 Striper), begin adding clouds one line at a time. Add a cloud-shaped line in the centre, for your top cloud, and flash-cure in between sections.
