Offer your clients a natural-looking design that has a touch of femininity using Mia Secret’s acrylic system. The advanced-blended, low-odor formula features superior adhesion, offers non-yellowing properties, and provides strength and endurance. Pair the system with Mia Secret’s Gelux gel-polish and nail art supplies to up the ante on the classic pink-and-white look. Follow these steps to see how Mia Secret’s international master educator Blanca Martinez sculpted a French tip and painted a glistening floral finish.


1. Prep the nail by filing and applying Mia Secret Nail Prep. Apply Mia Secret Xtrabond Primer to improve adhesion. Mix together Mia Secret Cover Pink and Multibalance Natural Pink Acrylic Powder to begin extending the nail bed for a natural look.
