Empower your nails this autumn and create this fierce look using the new Artistic Own Your Look Collection!

You will need:

• Standard Artistic Essentials
• Artistic Colour Gloss Pur-Suit Of Happiness
• Artistic Colour Gloss I Wear The Pants
• Artistic Striper Brush
• Sani Tongs
• Cage Strip Decals

Step 1: To give the nails length and drama, we have used the Artistic Rock Hard Extension range which you can shop here!

Step 2: Apply a thin coat of Pur-Suit Of Happiness, making sure to cap the free edge. Cure for 30 seconds in the Artistic LED Pro 30 Lamp or 2 minutes in UV. Repeat once more.

Step 3: Apply one coat of I Wear the Pants as a straight line down the centre. Use the Artistic Striper Brush to clean up the edges of I Wear the Pants and cure for 30 seconds in LED light or 2 minutes in UV.

Step 4: Place a cage decal at the cuticle area using Artistic Sani Tongs. Next fill in the cuticle design with Pur-Suit of Happiness and the remaining design with I Wear The Pants. Cure for 30 seconds in LED light or 2 minutes in UV.

Step 5: Use the Artistic Sani Tongs to add additional cage decals to achieve your desired look.

Step 6: Press down on the edges to secure the decal strip. Then use cuticle nippers to cut off any excess strip.

Step 7: Apply a thin layer of Artistic Glossing Gel over the entire nail and cure for 30 seconds in LED light or 2 minutes in UV. With Artistic Nail Surface Cleanser and a lint-free wipe, cleanse the inhibition layer of the nail.

Step 8: Massage one drop of Artistic Revive Cuticle Oil into the skin surrounding the nail plate, then enjoy the finished look.
