Available in both lacquer and GelFX formulas, the Orly Coastal Crush collection features six bright hues perfect for summer nail designs.

Prep the nail. Apply GelFX Basecoat* and cure for 30 seconds under an LED lamp. Apply two coats of Under The Stars, curing after each. Thicken Pointe Blanche* by mixing it with a pinch of cornstarch, then use a detail brush to paint a cone shape at the tip of the nail. Use an orangewood stick to create a criss-cross design. Then, use a detail brush to apply more Pointe Blanche mixture to the “rim.” Cure.

Use a detail brush to place a large dot of Surfer Dude above the cone. Drag the polish toward the tip to create drips. Cure.

Use a detail brush to paint a small swirl of Pointe Blanche on top of the “ice cream.” Cure. Next, use a dotting tool to create “sprinkles” with Summer Fling and Sea You Soon. Cure. Apply Topcoat* and cure. To finish, use 3-in-1 Cleanser* and a lint-free wipe to remove the tacky layer.
