Step-by-Step 3D Gel Nail Roses using 4D Gels by Missu Beauty

Hey, Bella’s, Welcome to another blog post, today is all about this beautiful step-by-step 3D gel nail roses I created, using 4D Gels by Miss Beauty and some gel polishes.

I was so lucky to have received some products from them to try out as I’ve seen such great reviews. This post, I will be going through with you of a step-by-step on how I did the background of these nails and if you want to know how I did the 3D Roses using the 4D gels by Missu Beauty, click here.


1. Prep & base the nails

Step-by-step 3d Gel nail Roses

♥ So, before you get into any gel products, you need to remove the shine and oils off the nail. Otherwise, the product won’t adhere to the surface of the nails, use a buffer or a 240grit file to do this. Make sure you don’t leave any shiny patches because this will cause your product to lift.

♥ Cleanse the nails with a cleanser or alcohol.

Step by step 3d gel nail roses

♥ Apply a gel polish base coat of your choice on all the nails.

♥ Cure for 60secs under a LED Lamp.


2. Red Glitter Nails

Black gel Polish

For the red glitter, I used a black gel polish as my base colour.
♥ Apply one coat of black gel polish (you can use any brand, whatever product you feel comfortable using).

♥ Cure for 60secs.

♥ Apply a 2nd coat of black gel polish.

♥ Cure for 60secs.

♥ Apply a base coat (I applied a base coat because I found that glitter sticks better than the top coat).

♥ Cure for 30secs.

Red Glitter Nails

♥ With a buffing eyeshadow brush, pat the glitter on the entire surface of the whole nail.

♥ Cure for 30secs.

♥ Apply a glossy gel with a gel brush, (I prefer a gel brush, then the brush that comes with the gel bottle, because glitter will stick on the brush and you have to put it back in the bottle, and the next time you use the gel top coat there's glitter stuck on the brush).

♥ Cover the entire nail with gel. Double check you covered everything, look at different angles.

♥ Cure for 60secs.

Matt Red Glitter Nails

♥ With a 240grit file, file the entire surface of the nail.

♥ Grab a buffer, and smooth out the entire surface of the nail, make sure no bumps or glitter sticking out.

♥ Cleanse the nail.

♥ Apply a top coat, I used Missu beauty glossy top coat, and wow! Look at that glossy finish.

♥ Cure for 60secs.


3. Red Gel Polish Nails

Red Gel Polish Nails

♥ Apply a Red gel polish to the entire nail.

♥ Cure for 60secs.

♥ Apply a 2nd coat of the red gel polish.

♥ Cure for 60secs.

♥ Apply Missu Beauty gel polish top coat.

♥ Cure for 60secs.


4. White and Black Chess Design

So, this part is a bit tricky, but if you use the right brush, its easy peasy to draw the lines, I recommend to use a long striping nail art brush.

White Gel Polish Nails

♥ Apply a white gel polish.

♥ Cure for 60secs.

♥ Apply a second coat.

♥ Cure for 60secs.

Nail art black strips

♥ I first started with horizontal lines. I drew the first line in the middle, and did the rest, making sure there's a bit of space between each line.
♥ Cure for 60secs.

Chess nail art design

♥ Next, I drew vertical lines; again I started in the middle and one line on the left and one line on the right.

♥ Cure for 60secs.

Chess Nail Art Design

Filled in the empty blocks with the black gel polish.

♥ To not confuse myself, I started with the first line and coloured in the 2nd block and the 4th block.

♥ So, basically what you want to do is fill one block, blank, fill, blank.

♥ Finish with Missu Beauty top Coat.

♥ Cure for 60 Secs.


5. 3D Gel Nail Rose

6. Silver Nail Beads

Silver Nail Beads

♥ To apply the beads, I first used a bit of gel and added in the corners of the petals.

Silver Nail beads

♥ With an old brush, I picked the beads up and placed it where I applied the gel.
♥ Cured for 60secs.


7. Glossy top coat Missu Beauty

Top coat Gel polish Missu beauty

♥ I used Missu Beauty Glossy topcoat, and applied to the negative spaces, avoiding touching the 3D Roses.
♥ Cure for 60secs.


I enjoyed creating this beautiful set, I was going for a chess game look, but my friend said it reminds her of the Spanish culture because of the red roses. I found a picture on Pinterest, with a set of nails of a chess board with roses and I created something completely different. Haha, well, it's okay I can't copy.

So, this is my first time using the Missu Beauty products, I really enjoyed playing around with their 4D gels, and at the moment, I love their glossy top coat, Totally recommend trying it out. Let me know what you thought of this step-by-step, and if you re-create this set, post on Instagram with the #jessabellanails, I would love to see your recreations.

Celebrity Makeup Transformation: Kim Kardashian, JLo & Taylor Swift

Hey Bella's, If you are in the UK, well I hope you are enjoying this fantastic hot weather, and that you didn't forget to put on sunscreen. P.S Always protect your skin!

I want to take you all back to 2016, in 2016, So, I tried out Youtube,  Yep! I only did two videos though and never did anymore because of time, place and not having a powerful laptop to edit the videos. So in this post, I will be chatting about my first ever youtube video which was about "Celebrity makeup transformation on Kim, JLo and Taylor Swift".

Since this video was my very first, I didn't have a single clue on what I was doing; I didn't have the perfect lighting, angle, setting, and plan. So, please excuse the quality haha.

This makeup video wasn't a transformation to look exactly like the three celebrities though but more to show you all on the makeup techniques of the similar makeup they wear. But anyway like I said it was my first youtube video, and yes, I was super scared and shy as you will see there's no talking haha

Celebrity Makeup Transformation

So, let's talk about whats going on in the video.


Kim Kardashian Makeup Transformation


Kim Kardashian Makeup is known for her great contour and concealer look.  On the video, I show the parts where to contour and conceal. I first apply foundation, covering my entire face and my neck. I take my contour powder by sleek makeup and contour my cheekbones, side of my forehead and jawline. Make sure the Makeup is thoroughly blended. Next, I take my concealer and apply middle of my forehead, the bridge of my nose, under my eyes, my cheeks, chin and the inner corners of my nose. I blend all this thoroughly.


JLo Makeup Transformation


Jlo's Makeup is a lot about that golden bronze glow on the cheeks. To get JLo's makeup look, I took a bronze contour powder and to achieve that glow I used a stroke cream and a shimmer highlighter powder by urban decay.


Taylor Swift Makeup Transformation


Taylor Swift Makeup was about that classic look with red lips, nothing to difficult to do, You just needed red lips and a winged eyeliner.


Products used


♥ Mac Cosmetics

♥ Sigma Brushes

♥ Urban Decay

♥ Sleek Makeup

♥ Bare Minerals


Check out my first youtube video, even though it needs so much improvement but I'm pleased how it turned out in the end esp. the fact that it has about 12k views, I can at least say I've given a go, and this is definitely something I will pay more attention to in the nearer future.
