Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prep the nails.
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Use the cuticle stick to push back cuticles gently.
- Buff the surface of your nails for a smooth finish.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat and let it dry completely.
2
Apply the base colors.
- Paint half of each nail with black polish and let it dry.
- Paint the other half with white polish, ensuring clean lines.
- For the nails with a holographic effect, apply the iridescent polish on top of the white while it's still slightly wet for a blended look.
3
Create geometric designs.
- Use striping tape to create geometric shapes, applying it to the already painted nails.
- Fill the triangular sections with the gold glitter polish.
- Remove the tape after the gold polish is dry to expose clean lines.
4
Add final touches.
- Using a detailing brush, add fine black lines or patterns over certain areas as desired.
- Apply a gold metallic polish to create additional accents, like fine lines between colors.
- Finish with a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
5
Clean up.
- Use nail polish remover and a clean-up brush to remove any excess polish around the nails.
- Ensure the edges are smooth and neat.
Pro Tips
Allow each layer of polish to dry completely to prevent smudging or misalignment.
Be patient with the tape application for clean, crisp lines.
Experiment with different placements of the gold design for a personalized touch.
Practice your brush strokes on a nail wheel or a paper before applying directly to your nails.
