Supplies

• Black gel polish (or regular polish)

• Thin nail art brush or liner brush
• Base coat
• Top coat (glossy for a sleek look or matte for a unique twist)
• UV/LED lamp (for gel polish)
• Nail polish remover and cleanup brush (for any mistakes)

Instructions

Prep Your Nails:

Apply a thin layer of base coat and cure under a UV/LED lamp (if using gel polish). Apply the Black Base Color:Paint your nails with black polish and let it dry (or cure under a UV lamp if using gel polish).
Apply a second coat for an ultra-opaque finish. Using a thin nail art brush, start with the orange polish to create the base shape of the flames. Paint curvy, flickering shapes starting from the tip and extending towards the center of the nail. Add red polish inside the orange to create depth and dimension. Use yellow at the very center to highlight the flames and give them a realistic fiery effect. Blend for a Gradient Effect (Optional): If you want a smooth transition between colors, lightly blend where the colors meet using a small detail brush or sponge. Let the design dry completely or cure under the lamp if using gel polish. Apply a generous layer of glossy top coat to enhance the shine and protect your artwork. Cure under a UV/LED lamp or allow it to dry fully.
