Young Nails’ ManiQ Color in Canvas 101 can make your designs pop by pairing the off-white shimmer color with Imagination Nail Art Pigments. When mixed with acrylics, Synergy Gel, and ManiQ colors, the Amethyst and Gold pigments can be used to create pearlescent combinations. Complete the look with ManiQ Top Coat to ensure it shines and finish the process with ManiQ Cleanser specifically designed to remove the sticky layer from the surface of the nail. Follow these steps for a whimsical design with Young Nails. 

 1. Prep the nail and apply Protein Bond on the tip of the natural nail.
