Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails
- Buff the nails to smooth out the surface.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails and enhance polish adhesion.

Create the gradient background
- Using a sponge, apply dark brown polish at the base of the nail.
- Blend light brown polish on the sponge and dab it over the middle part of the nail.
- Finish with a layer of copper shimmery polish near the tips for a smooth gradient.
3
Add floral designs
- Using a detailing brush, paint orange flowers randomly on each nail.
- Add detail to the flowers with a contrasting color if desired.
4
Incorporate gold dots
- Use a dotting tool to create small gold dots between the flowers and along the gradient transition.

6
Clean up
- Use acetone and cotton pads to clean any excess polish around the nails.
Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a nail wheel or practice tip before applying it on your nails.
Allow each layer of polish to dry properly before adding the next to prevent smudging.
Experiment with flower designs; they don’t have to be perfect to look beautiful.
If you're new to nail art, start with fewer nails to build your confidence before doing a full set.
