Sorbet Peach Little Sun nails

Oval · Little Sun

Easy at home

A little sun in Milk Bath on Sorbet Peach, rays drawn as short strokes around a filled centre.

3 bottles: Sorbet Peach, Milk Bath and Deep Apricot. Sorbet Peach and Milk Bath are close in tone, so the design is tonal rather than graphic. It shows up in daylight and softens indoors. The bottles are not all the same finish (sheer and crème), so the pattern picks up light differently from the ground.

On an oval the design is not stretched or compressed anywhere, which makes it the most neutral setting of the lot.

How to paint Sorbet Peach Little Sun nails

  1. 1 Buff, dehydrate and base coat, then cure. Three sheer coats of Sorbet Peach — it is translucent, so it builds rather than covers.

  3. 3 Gloss top coat, cure, then cuticle oil once it is out of the lamp.

Questions about Sorbet Peach Little Sun

  • Is Sorbet Peach Little Sun hard to do at home?

    Yes. There is no freehand work that has to be accurate. Budget about 30 minutes for a full set, and three colours means three chances for something to bleed, so cure between each one rather than working wet on wet.

  • What polish do I need for Sorbet Peach Little Sun?

    3 bottles: Sorbet Peach (sheer), Milk Bath (sheer) and Deep Apricot (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.

  • Does Sorbet Peach Little Sun work on short nails?

    Oval is one of the better shapes for a short nail: it lengthens the look of the bed without needing free edge to do it, so the design carries over unchanged.

  • How many coats does Sorbet Peach Little Sun need?

    More than you would expect. Sorbet Peach and Milk Bath are translucent, so the colour builds over three thin coats rather than covering in two. Stop wherever you like the depth — that is the point of a sheer.
