Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails for the design.
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface gently to create a smooth base.
- Apply a base coat and let it dry completely.
2
Apply the base color.
- Apply two coats of soft peach nail polish, allowing each coat to dry.
- Make sure to cap the edges for durability.
3
Create the crack design.
- Using a fine nail art brush, draw thin crack-like swirls with dark brown or black polish on each nail except the accent nail.
- Vary the length and angle of the lines for a more organic look.
4
Design the accent nail.
- After the base color has dried, apply white nail polish to your chosen accent nail.
- While the white polish is still wet, carefully place rhinestones or glitter from the tip down towards the base in a gradient effect.
5
Finish with a top coat.
- Once everything is dry, apply a layer of top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Cure under a UV lamp if using gel polish.
6
Clean up any excess.
- Use a small brush or cotton swab dipped in acetone to clean around the nails.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is fully dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Use a steady hand when drawing the crack lines for a cleaner look.
Apply a thicker top coat on the accent nail to securely hold the rhinestones in place.
