Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File your nails to your desired shape.
- Push back cuticles gently using a cuticle pusher.
2
Apply a base coat.
- Use a clear base coat to protect your natural nails.
- Let it dry completely before moving on.
3
Paint the coral pink nails.
- Apply two coats of coral pink polish on all but one nail.
- Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
4
Create the black striped nail.
- Apply a base of black polish on the designated nail and let dry.
- Use striping tape or a nail art brush to add horizontal stripes of white polish.
5
Achieve the glitter gradient.
- On an accent nail, apply a coat of white polish as a base.
- Dab a makeup sponge into gold glitter polish and lightly press it toward the tip of the nail.
6
Seal with a top coat.
- Once all nails are dry, apply a top coat to seal and add shine.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely.
7
Clean up excess polish.
- Dip a cotton pad or swab in nail polish remover.
- Gently clean around the nails for a polished finish.
Pro Tips
Always allow each layer of polish to dry completely to avoid smudging.
For cleaner stripes, ensure the base color is fully dry before applying tape or additional polish.
Experiment with sponge dabbing techniques for a softer gradient effect.
Use a fast-drying top coat if you're short on time.
