I-LAK Spring 2019

Off we go! Start by applying two coats of I-LAK semi-permanent nail lacquer ref. 191125 to your thumb, index finger and little finger, catalyzing after each coat. Then apply I-LAK Top Coat ref. 190001 and catalyze. In step three, use transfer foil glue ref. 149716 to create a design on the nail. Wait a few seconds for the glue to dry (it will turn clear when dry). Cut off a strip of transfer foil of the right size and apply it to the nail, pressing firmly around the edges. Then pull off the foil in one go. Apply a coat of your finish and catalyze.

Using white gel ref. 146940, paint curved lines on your nail and then apply a coat of finish but do not catalyze straight away. Position your decorations ref 148267 on your nails and catalyse. Little tip: to make sure your decorations stay in place, it’s a good idea to add a last coat of finish and then catalyze again. That’s it! You’re now sporting a fabulous spider wedding look!

This bohemian look will have you in rhapsody! It features colour gradations of semi-permanent nail lacquers created using a brush. If you’re not sure how to create a colour gradation with a brush, there’s a tutorial that explains the different steps involved – don’t worry, we’ve thought of everything! Check out the tutorial.

Once you’ve completed your colour gradation on each nail, it’s time to let your arty side take over! Use I-LAK semi-permanent nail lacquer ref. 190015 to create the hearts and lines. Apply a coat of finish, add your rhinestones and catalyze. Little tip: if you want the rhinestones to stay in place for around 3 weeks, we recommend mixing clear builder gel ref. 146657 with powder ref. 145155 to create a small amount of opaque paste that you can use to fix your rhinestones in place. Apply this mixture to the area where you want to fix your rhinestones, place them on and catalyze.

That’s all you need to do to create your bohemian hearts look, a delicate, modern look perfect for early autumn nights out!

The lace effect is a sure-fire way to create a voluptuous, seductive look!

To start things off, apply a single coat of your semi-permanent nail lacquer ref. 191127 to each nail and catalyze. Next, rub on white pearl pigment ref. 149923 with your finger or a sponge, apply your finish and catalyze. Use a piece of tape to mark out the area where you want to position the foil. Apply a coat of your semi-permanent lacquer around the edges of this area and then catalyze. (Please note: remember to remove the tape before you catalyze.) Next, apply a second coat of lacquer around the edges of the foil area, being careful not to paint beyond the edges. Catalyze and then degrease the nail with triple-action cleaner ref. 146017. Apply Peggy Sage transfer foil glue ref. 149716 to your nail. Wait a few seconds for the glue to dry (it will turn clear when dry). Cut off a strip of transfer foil ref. 149281 of the right size and apply it to the nail, pressing firmly around the edges. Then pull off the foil in one go. Apply adhesive tape ref. 149312 and then a coat of finish. Stick on the balls from the gold nail art mini kit ref. 149312 and then catalyze.

For best results it’s a good idea to add a last coat of finish to your nails to hold everything firmly in place! Then catalyze.

Here’s a very simple look that ensures you stay on-trend with the new I-LAK Spring 2019 Rose colour. We guarantee it takes very little time to pull off this nail art look!

Start by applying two coats of Love’s in the air ref. 191130 to each nail, remembering to catalyze between each coat of semi-permanent nail lacquer.

So far, so simple! Now, to create the sequin effect on your nails, use a liner brush ref. 141059 to paint on spots of Bride’s team semi-permanent lacquer ref. 191129 and catalyze. When this part is finished you will have little sequin spots on your nails. For the last step, apply a coat of finish to each nail and place the rhinestones where you want them, and then catalyze to fix everything in place. And that’s it, you’re done! A trendy look created in flash, just as we promised!
