Mia Secret Novo Gel for Mottled Effect Nails

This video by Mia Secret demonstrates how to apply its latest gel-polish product called Novo Gel. The colorless gel-polish can be applied over color to easily create a blotchy, mottled effect. Here’s how to easily execute a blotchy look: 1. Once you have prepped the nail and sculpted the nail structure, apply Destiny Gelux soak-off gel-polish to the smile line. 2. Using a fine brush and Gel Cleanser, refine the smile line of the and cure for 45 seconds in portable LED nail light. 3. Apply a thin layer of Novo Gel and refine the smile line once again. Cure for 45 seconds. 4.  Apply a thin layer of White Gelux soak-off gel-polish. You will notice the gel starts expanding itself and transform into a spotted and streaky effect. 5. Seal the nail with Luxury UV base and top gel-polish.  Cure for 45 seconds and wipe off the tacky layer.
