To do unicorn powder nails, start by applying a base coat and curing it under a UV/LED lamp. Next, apply a gel polish in your desired color as the base and cure it again. Then, using a sponge applicator or a silicone brush, gently rub the unicorn powder onto the tacky layer of the gel polish. The key is to apply it evenly for that smooth, magical gradient effect. After achieving the desired look, seal it with a top coat and cure once more. This magical finish works best over lighter polish colors to enhance the iridescent effect.
