Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails
- Use a nail file to shape the nails to a pointed design.
- Buff the surface of the nails for a smooth finish.
- Apply cuticle remover and gently push back cuticles.
- Finish with a base coat to protect the nails.
2
Apply base color
- Paint two coats of orange nail polish, letting each coat dry completely.
- Ensure the edges are sealed for a clean look.
3
Create wood grain effect
- Using the detailing brush, apply the light brown polish in vertical lines across the nails.
- Add dark brown lines sporadically to add depth to the wood grain texture.
- Use a thin brush to connect the lines for a more natural look.

Finish with top coat
- Once everything is dry, apply a clear top coat to seal the design.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely before use.
Pro Tips
Use thin layers of polish to prevent smudging and to speed up drying time.
Ensure all tools are clean before use to prevent contamination.
For a more pronounced wood effect, use a sponge to dab the brown polishes onto the orange base.
If you make a mistake, use a small brush with polish remover to carefully correct it.
