Layering

Layering is what takes nail art from flat to dimensional. Instead of relying on a single product or technique, it’s the process of building a design in stages, using different mediums, textures, and effects to create depth, balance, and visual interest.

Each step should serve a purpose, whether that’s creating a base, adding detail, or building depth and contrast. 

In this masterclass, we break that process down in a simple, structured way across five nail art tutorials. You’ll learn how to confidently layer different mediums and techniques to create designs that feel multi-dimensional. From crystal and marble effects with visible depth, to aura ombré, abstract layering, vertical ombré, and a clean negative space French, each design demonstrates a different approach to building layered nail art.

We hope this masterclass inspires you to experiment more with layering!
