Prep the nail, and then apply a gel polish base coat and cure.

Apply two coats of Artistic Nail Design in Hotzy, and cure between each coat.

Seal with top coat and cure. Remove the inhibition layer.

Using Artistic Nail Design in Bride, draw two circles and fill them in. They need to be staggered in height, one needs to be larger than the other, and the smaller one needs a slight point at the base of it to turn it in to more of a tear drop shape. Cure. 

If you need to apply a second coat to create depth of colour, do so and cure again.

Using Lecenté Everest, apply glitter to your white circles. If you don't want to use glitter, you could draw a pattern on your baubles.

Seal the baubles with top coat and cure.
