Nouveau Nail’s City Lights Acrylic Collections feature 48 shimmering glitters, bright neons, and bold urban shades that will have nails looking great and wearing well for long-lasting manicure designs. Each collection is named after a different geographical location, including the Far East, Fabulous Florida, Oh Canada!, and South American Style collections. There are 12 different collection kits in all, and each kit includes four mini colored acrylic powders, a low odor liquid, and 10-pack of Dual Shape Nail forms.

1. Sanitize hands; perform a mini manicure and remove the shine from the natural nail using a Nouveau Nail Sandy file.

2. Apply Nouveau Nail Dual Shape Nail Forms or shape and blend Nouveau Nail Professional Tips. Remove nail dust and spray with Nouveau Nail Anti-Spray to cleanse the nail plate.

3. Place a medium-sized bead of City Lights Rockin’ Rio Advanced Formula Acrylic Powder in the middle of the free edge. Using the body of your brush, guide the product up to one corner and then to the other to create the depth of your smile line. Continue to shape to desired look.

4. Place a medium-sized bead of Nouveau Nail Cover Pink Advanced Formula Acrylic Powder just above the smile line you have created. Allow time for the product to self-level. Using the body of the brush, press the product from side to side and back, then lightly over the free edge.

5. After acrylic has fully cured, use a Nouveau Nail Sandy file to smooth straight down each side wall. Then file across the free edge along the cuticle area, making sure the margin of product is flush with the natural nail. Finally, file up one side and down the other to achieve a natural-looking curve.

6. Remove nail dust and buff with an Americanails White Buffer to smooth away any remaining imperfections.

7. Wash hands and finish with Nouveau Nail Super Seal UV Gel Sealer to achieve a high-gloss shine, extreme durability, and long-lasting protection.
