Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- File and shape your nails to your desired length and style.
- Buff the surface of your nails to create a smooth canvas.
- Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Apply the red base color
- Choose a high-quality red nail polish.
- Apply one or two coats of red polish, allowing each coat to dry fully.
3
Create the accent nail
- If using foil, apply a glue specific for foil application onto the designated nail and allow it to become tacky.
- Carefully place the gold foil onto the tacky nail using tweezers, pressing gently to adhere.

Add the gold patterns
- If stamping, apply the gold stamping polish onto a design plate and scrape off the excess.

Clean up

- Ensure nails are clean and well-defined.
Pro Tips
Make sure each layer is completely dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Use a high-quality top coat to enhance the durability and shine of your design.
Practice the stamping technique on paper first if you're new to it.
Consider using a matte top coat for a different finish if desired.
