Start with a Base: Begin with the Rubber Base Coat and cure – this is essential for any gel nail application. Then go in with your 01 French Gel Nail Polish, a milky white translucent gel nail polish that creates the perfect canvas for your blueberry milk masterpiece.

Choose Your Blue:For the quintessential blueberry milk hue, opt for the Opal Gel Nail Polish. This milk-toned baby blue gel nail polish with shimmer captures the essence of the trend perfectly. For a slightly deeper summer blue that still fits within the theme, the Kiss & Tell Gel Nail Polish is the perfect choice.

Application Tips: Apply your chosen blue polish over the cured base, working to create a seamless blend that captures the lightness and depth of blueberry milk. Consider using a sponge for an ombre effect, create blueberry milk French tips, or keep it simple with a full nail of color. The key is to achieve that soft finish that makes this trend so captivating. If you want a milkier look, rather than applying your 01 French Gel Nail Polish as an underlay, instead apply the sheer white overtop of your blue nail color.

Seal the Deal: Seal the look with a top coat for longevity and a glossy finish that makes the color pop. For clients looking for something extra, consider adding a few minimalist nail art designs or accents that complement the blueberry milk theme.
